I finally convinced my daughter to put on a dress for a Victorian Tea, but this is by no means a regular occurrence. http://spedr.com/cnxr<BR/><BR/>All those traditional gender roles seem to be switched in our household, with the son being more sensitive and the daughter oblivious. Both loved the Anne of Green Gables video.

I have raised a daughter and I am in the middle of raising a son, and I also had to laugh at the excerpt you provided.<BR/><BR/>My daughter does like pretty clothes, but she also had a passion for insects and kitchen chemistry experiments.
