Joan: Max doesn't LIKE the bubble shooter I bought him. Wally: But MAX?! This is the intergalactic VAPORIZER model! Max: ? Wally: Any alien touched by one of these bubbles immediately MELTS into a puddle of OOOZE! Joan: I see. I didn't FRAME it properly - as a weapon of mass destruction. Wally: You're welcome.

I believe kids know what sex they are at the age of 2, and they know which sex is preferred.
I remember talking to a guy who entertained himself by making comments to parents about their new babies, but reversing the stereotypes. For example, if it was a girl he raved about how strong she was, and if it was a boy?? I don’t remember exactly - how sweet and loving maybe? how graceful? anyway you get the point, which is that people don’t really realise how much they are doing to influence their children.
The parents that he teased got very upset.
