Twins' Age: 5
Parental and educator attempts to maintain gender neutrality assuming childhood tabulae rasae seem largely futile when confronted with a photo like the above.
The three girls recoil when confronted with a less-than-lovely/non-Nemo beast from the deep. The three boys? Behold their irrepressible delight.
Suppose it could be argued we've already impressed upon our offspring our expected/projected behaviors by age 5; after all, seems I'm the one who unwittingly dressed her boy-girl twins in blue and pink!
Not knowing whether this image reflects nature or nurture warms my heart this mid-week!
Play along with Way Back When-esday.

My kids tell me who wears what colors. If I try to dress the baby girl in brown I get hell!
So typical! I do think that it is a pack thing too - packs of girls giggle, gross out , whatever together
That's too funny - and so very true. ;)

i went through old pictures and got lost in memories! my kids are so super grown up and in only 4 short years time. it is so sad to think how quickly things change...time passes. i miss those simpler days...

I'm much older than 5 and still have the same reaction.
What a great memory captured!
