Bold thoughts!

Past weekend was a strange one. Saturday I went to one of my friend's baby shower and on Sunday to one our family friend’s funeral! For both events I had to go alone because pishi wasn't feeling good. It was hard not being with him.

The baby shower was good since I got to chat with some of the friends that I haven't got the chance to see in the past 5 years! And the wake was interesting too, no crying or sadness!!
One thing about the baby shower that made me think was the fact that since my friend is having a baby girl; she had managed to register for all pink stuff and decorations!!
Even when I went to the registered baby store, either the stuff was blue or pink!! I couldn't believe it.
I personally am against identifying girls with pink and boys with blue. I know when I have my baby; I will never go with that stereotype. I will go with all colors and probably would avoid having one color. Nothing against pink, I actually like pink and have a lot of clothes that are pink but to me starting a child's life with a cliché may not conclude in a strong child. I would make my child expose to all gender roles. If I ever have a daughter I would let her try motorcycles, carpentry and all sort of stuff that are perceived as male oriented. If I have a son I will expose him to dance, cooking and sewing...I believe a child whose road is open without boundaries can lead a brighter life than a child that is brought up by cliché boundaries.

I was studying since the weekend for my quiz today and was cramming even harder the last hours and to my surprise once I arrived to the school, it was closed due to snow storm!! You can imagine my disappointment for not writing the quiz!
