The difference between boys and girls


Last night, as I was putting Ellie to sleep, we were discussing the day's events. It sounded something like this....

Mom: So, you really like playing with Pineapple the turtle from preschool?

Ellie: Yes he is so fun and cute.

Mom: I thought your teacher said Pineapple was a girl.

Ellie: No--it is a BOY!

Mom: Pretty sure she said girl.

Ellie: BOY

Mom: Girl

Ellie : BOY

Mom: Ok. Why are you so certain Pineapple the turtle is a boy?

Ellie: Because Pineapple doesn't have a bow on his head!

So, according to Ellie, the way to tell boys and girls apart, is to look for the presence of a bow on their heads. If you find one with a bow, it's a girl--either that or a very disturbed little boy...
