Kid starting school ..

[ibi sum]

Romain - Our boys play with dolls as well! Corben has a Barbie! Of course .. It is often legless, but its also often covered in makeup!

And not a week goes by when Corben doesn't wear a dress .. If he wants to! Of course, they both have capes too, and Flynn has a better suit than I do! :)

So yeah .. Gender roles? Whatever. Society norms are for the normal-borings, not the Vaughan-Limberks! Didn't mean to imply you were ignorant or something, but I really think that societal norms, particularly in the child rearing department, are enforced by those who choose to commit to their cultural inheritance: and I have very little of that impulse left in me these days. Culture is the crime!

Yeah, a girl. Maybe some day ..
