You can raise your son a Quaker, a vegan or a pagan; he’s still going to fight with his brother over an unused pen cap as though it were the Star of India.
You can kiss him every night and sing to him of milkweed and nightingales and give him his own doll and play kitty with him instead of Navy SEALs. Go ahead. He’s still going to make a gun from a toaster waffle and fire it across the table-even if he’s never seen a gun that didn’t squirt water and wasn’t shaped like a caterpillar.

I just had to share these gems because they are SOOOO true. 🙂
