All Boy???

Postby 4given » Mon Jan 14, 2008 10:53 am

Well, I have 4 sons and I've been pondering something for awhile.

I've heard parents many times describe their sons as "all boy". I've even done it myself a couple times. But, I was immediately bothered by the implications I was making.

Are we inadvertantly suggesting that our sons that prefer to read rather than romp are any less "boy"?

What are your thoughts?
