Eve and her friend are in the back seat of the car headed out on a vacation adventure. They are playing some version of SuperMario on their DSis, and I'm not really paying attention, until I hear this conversation:Eve: Why does Mario always have to rescue Peach? Peach should rescue Mario.
Friend: Well, it's not always Peach.
Eve: But it's always a girl. Girls can rescue boys, too.
It is possible - just possible, mind you - that she's getting it. Sam reaches over and squeezes my knee, because he already gets it.

Yes! I hope to hear things like this come from the kidlet when he gets older. I pray that I will...
It's important for boys to hear that, too.
Yup, Orange, it is important for boys to hear that, too - and I'm sure yours does. Kidlet, too. I know Eve's heard it, but this is the first sign I've had that it's actually getting through.
it's so very good when you hear these things. I know my children say them when they think I would want to hear them (eg as we're leaving a movie, because I've been making them do it ever since we went to our first Winnie the Pooh), but every now and then I hear a small spontaneous snippet and it's a real jolt of happiness.
