Sarah and I have been trying to help Cooper recognize the difference between boy and girl lately. In doing so, Cooper has now identified additional genders. Yes, that's right, there is more than just 'boy' and 'girl.' The other day we had a conversation that proceeded as follows:
Mom: "Cooper, are you a boy or a girl?"
Cooper: "um, girl"
Mom: "Nope, you are a boy. Mommy is a girl"
Dad: "Cooper, am I a boy?"
Cooper: "No"
Dad: "Hmm. Am I a girl?"
Cooper: "No. You're old"
Yes, I have transmorphed into that gender that gets us all over time, old.
Not content with just one extra gender, however, yesterday Cooper identified yet another. The conversation went like this:
Mom: "Cooper, are you a boy or a girl?"
Cooper: "A girl"
Mom: "No Cooper, you're a boy. Mommy is a girl"
Cooper: "No, you're a friend"
I think that's how we should introduce each other from now on.
"Hi, nice to meet you. This is my wife, Sarah. Since we've had kids we aren't male and female any more. Sarah's a friend, and I'm old."
