I was taught one more lesson in the differences between girls and boys tonight.
Audrey and Colin were in the bathtub. When I finished shampooing their hair I gave Audrey two small plastic dolls with accompanying plastic accessories and another handful of toys to Colin.
While cleaning up in the next room I can hear Colin repeatedly making a fake screaming sound, "Ahhhhhhh" (high pitch to low pitch) followed by his own hysterical laughter. After a few minutes of this I am curious so I sneak in and watch as Colin lifts one plastic doll to a ledge in the bathtub and lets her free fall headfirst into the water, simultaneously adding her screaming side effects. Following the tragedy he throws back his head back and laughs...
Audrey meanwhile is just trying to squeeze her little doll into a tiny pink dress.
Yep, that sounds about right. Today I tried to lay in bed and have the boys brush my hair. Now I know that if you ask a boy to brush your hair it means being whacked in the forehead and having your ear repeatedly scraped by the bristles.
