It would have been funnier if it was an alliteration, like "Kiss Katie's cooter and grab Grant's groin."
Just saying. :o

Just stirring the pot here.
"If you're not for us, you're against us"
Are you going to tell your 4-year-old son that one day he is going to grow up and meet a girl that he loves (just like you met mommy/you met daddy) and then have a family? Or are you going to throw "girl or boy" in there because you support equality in terms of sexual preference?
"One day you are going to meet a girl, or a boy, that you love. And you will want to be with him or her all the time, and so you will want to be together and maybe buy a house and get married. Whatever makes you happy - mommy/daddy/mommy and daddy will support you when this happens"
Or are you just going to avoid the topic altogether?
What if your kid asks you "Mama/Daddy... will I ever grow up and have a family?" How will you explain the possibilities to them?
What about the idea of chivalry? Out-dated, to some. I think it's still nice for men to open doors. Shows class and good manners.
This becomes funny if I were to teach my male child to factor the possibility that he/she is gay while teaching him good manners (because they seem to be based on the premise of a purely hetero world)
"Son, you should always open doors for girls and let them walk ahead of you. It's the polite thing to do. Or for a boy who has smaller arms and is meeker than you are (???????) especially if you think he's cute"
This chivalry thing made much more sense in my head :sadgreen:
I think what I am trying to say is that a lot of what is considered to be "good manners" is ingrained in a purely heterosexual society
i.e. "ladies first" or lifting something heavy for a woman ... it seems to be a sort of social conduct. A little backwards? Maybe. I still find that sort of thing very nice and comforting.
Say the Titanic sunk during a time where there was 100% equality in terms of sexual preference. Would they still just call for women and children, first? Or would it be something like "Women and children and those men in a homosexual relationship who play the less dominant roll or who have less body mass - please step forward!" ????
My musings sound retarded because this I have never thought about this before until now.
I think this is where the question really starts to make a difference. I think there is a place for letting your kids know where you stand on an issue but also encouraging them to think independently and come to their own conclusions.

you really expect 5-10 y.o. kids to come to life-determining conclusions on their own?

I was thinking a bit older than that

If they say, why? WHY?
Tell them that it's human nature.
Why... WHY?
Does he do me that way?

If you have the belief that children are stupid and can't have things explained to them honestly and rationally, then that's how they'll grow up. There's no reason why questions of "Why?" should be a daunting task for a parent. Children are worthy of more credit.

Jenny, I can't believe you didn't hop on the MJ train there :mad:

It actually made me think of Devin the Dude, although his is a reference to MJ. So there.
