♥ It’s Great To Be A Girl! ♥

ModernMom from How to Survive Life in the Suburbs has given me this cool award recently (both ModernMom and her blog are fun and swanky so it was a real treat to be picked by her). One of the rules of accepting the award is to link back to the blog that honored you, which is great because I have a chance to link back to a post of hers that I love and have been wanting to post about for a while…Life as a Girl! It made me think of the many reasons why it’s fabulous to be a girl, in addition to those she mentions. So here is my list of….

Why It’s ♥ GREAT ♥ To Be A Girl!!

♥ Girls can wear lots of pink without it raising any eyebrows. She can wear cherries on her clothes, or hearts, or bows. Men probably should not.

♥ Girls don’t have to struggle over opening jars, reaching high shelves, or carrying five bags of groceries if a man is around. A man would rather make a make-shift ladder or spend an hour with the jar under hot water than ask for help.

♥ Girls can have long pretty hair…if a man does, he risks getting called “miss” often. And pretty ringlets just don’t fly on a man. Nor does spending lots of time at the beauty parlor.

♥ A girl can ask her husband to deal with the intrusive neighbors or rude landlord…she can just say “They are mean to me!” and he’ll rush to her rescue.

♥ Women can get teary over small things, like a sad book or a kitty with a boo-boo. Men…can, but it doesn’t have the same effect.

♥ Women can fawn over a strangers baby without looking odd. Men kind of shouldn’t too much.

♥ Getting an attack of the giggles for a girl is contageous…if a man falls into a fit of giggles, other men around him look uncomfortable and kind of annoyed.

♥ Women can hide behind men when they hear a strange noise. If a man sends his wife to investigate with a bat…well, lol….

♥ A girl can put on a green face mask on, watch Fried Green Tomatoes and lounge in a fluffy robe. A man can too, but better not answer the door if the bell rings.

♥ Girls can declare they are tipsy, go to the bathroom in groups, or use the word “cute” in every sentence without being ostracized.

♥ If a girl breaks a nail, this garners proper sympathy. Men don’t get the same reaction.

It’s definately fun to be a girl, and there are zillions of perks. While I love and appreciate men (I have a great dad, brother and husband) I’d never want to be anything but a girl!
