I don't like girls

At what age do boys and girls start declaring their disdain for the opposite sex? You know, cooties and all that icky stuff. I thought it was in elementary school. Apparently, like many other things, kids are starting younger these days :-P

We'd recently switched around the routine. Whereas during the first week Mommy dropped Todd off and Daddy picked him up, we switched it the second week so Mommy could get in early and get some work done (as her main source of assistance was in a timezone 3 hours ahead). Todd didn't take kindly to the change, and kept insisting he wanted it back the other way. Finally, he offered Daddy a reason:

"I don't like Mommy!"

Taken aback, Daddy asked him to elaborate. So Todd did:

"Mommy is a girl. I don't like girls!"

Awwww... :'(

I was going to wish Todd a Happy Valentine's Day, but that won't work. I'm a girl too.

Well, I can't say that I ever went through that phase. My best friend when I was 5 years old was a girl. And we've been best friends for 26 years since then!

Although, one could argue that, coming from a gay man's perspective, I've always hated girls, LOL, but that's not really true either. It's just one of those things that all young boys go through. Wait until he's about 14 and really starts to change his opinion, hahaha!

Yeah... I'm kinda liking this "Girls are icky" phase... and you can bet that when he becomes a teenager and changes his tune, I'm gonna be soooooo glad he's not a teenage GIRL!
