I don't know if that is really true or not, but I think I may have some evidence to support the theory. And if I don't, well, at least it makes for a catchy title for this blog.
Today was the first day of school. Yay! So after I got the three big boys off to school, the two youngest and I came home, and decided to have some breakfast. Frosted Flakes was the choice of the day. Actually, for me personally, I had toast (see my previous blog about breakfast cereals)...but the little boys chose to have a virtually nutrition free breakfast of frosted flakes. K ate two bowls of it, and C started in on his bowl. He was eating it fine, but about halfway through his cereal he brought the spoon to me and said, "This is a girl's spoon." and tossed it in the sink. Well, the spoon DID have a flower on the handle, but I have never heard him have a problem with eating off of it before. I am not sure where he got the idea that silverware with flowers on it are girlie, certainly not from me, and I hope not from anyone else in our household. I proceeded to hand him a new spoon after he made it clear that the girlie one was not for him. Our main set of silverware is just very basic. There is nothing girlie about it. Its just plain, with a little v shape at the end of the handle. C was not satisfied. He rejected that spoon, as well as a different one from our backup set that has flowers on the handle. I gave up, closed the silverware drawer and told him he could go without a spoon then. Of course he didn't like that idea. He opened the drawer, pawed through it, and came out with a serving spoon (from our main set) that was the size of a small shovel. Satisfied with the manliness of his new spoon, he went back to the table and continued to eat. So does that mean, since he picked a spoon that was twice the size of his mouth, that I can add pig to the term male chauvinist?
