Boys have cooties

Ellie has always been a "girlie" girl in that she likes princesses, dressing up and playing with dolls/animals. She also likes to play with other girls over boys. She took it to the extreme today when we went to a birthday party and she told me that she didn't want to eat the cake. She didn't have a piece and when were on the way home, I asked her why she didn't want any cake. She said it was because it was a boy's cake and she didn't want to eat a boy's cake with basketball decorations. I remember having a bit of the same attitude when I was a kid, but not that much. But you can't have too much of an aversion to boys when you have a brother.
