Brothers make tomboys
of their sisters with sandpiles,
treehouses and swords.
Last picked for the team,
sitting on the sidelines ’cause
I wasn’t a boy.
More boyhood haiku at One Deep Breath.

Truth in a few words. Love them both! Even though…My girl played football with the boys’ league in school and scared the heck out of them. She’s tiny, wiry and fearless.

maybe that is why little girls “see something” in little boys earlier than the other way around… we have spent so much more time watching them……

My poor brother had three sisters, but we usually ended up playing guy games. He never played girl games with us!
