Another funny...We were at a new produce market last week, and the clerk, while friendly, was one of those people who think they need to give everybody unasked-for personal advice: "Oh, three boys--you need to have a girl next! Everyone needs a girl...etc etc etc..." (though I think anyone looking at me would realize that the clock has obviously run out on any more children--I get mistaken for their grandmother nine times out of ten)..."and the way you have a girl is to eat lots and lots of avocados and carrots," says she.
Says Chico (4), "no, no, the way you have a girl has nothing to do with what the mother eats, since she has the eggs. It's the daddy's sperm that makes the baby either a boy or a girl." Clerk falls silent, I pay for my fruit, and off we go.
