"You gotta understand... this is just the way my life is..."

It's a real sore spot in Seth's life that he's the only boy. He still talks about how the family would have turned out better if there were an equal number of boys and girls. Today we had a little boy over for the afternoon. When he walked into our garage, he said, "Seth, why is everything pink and for girls." This really hit a nerve for Seth. He pointed out the things in the garage that were not for girls. He then explained in his most philosophical tone of voice, "You gotta understand..... this is just the way my life is. I have three sisters and they have lots of pink stuff. A little of the stuff is not pink and mine though." It's a rough life being a boy in our family.
