little kids

During Bible School today, I suddenly realized that one of the key differences in young boys and girls is that the young boys have to do EVERYTHING themselves but the girls want to TALK about it.

The guys don't want to talk about ideas, they want to DO them: break and rebuild things (or sometimes just BREAK them...) But the girls tend to ask more questions and actually---get this--LISTEN to the answers. This only applies to the younger children. By the time they're 10, neither of them want to listen :-) But it's an intersting observation that, I think, holds true in the States, too. I'm interested to hear your thoughts.
