Planning for the future at dinner tonight, girl-style vs. boy-style.

Emi: When I grow up, I am going to marry Ethan. We will both be scientists working in the same lab. In our spare time we will play Legos together. In our spare work time we will invent things.

Tuck: When I grow up, I will marry Carly. We will buy a big bowl of white glue so we can make a giant glue ball and throw it at each other! Ha ha ha ha!

Me: Uh, I'm not sure that most girls find that romantic, Tucker. But you can go ahead and try.

Emi: Carly loves it.

Me: What?

Emi: Yeah, they throw glue balls at each other in Mandarin class all the time.

Tuck, miming throwing a huge ball at me: Splat!

James, are you taking notes?
