Maddi and Mom are cuddled up in bed talking about the day before.

Maddi: Why do we celebrate Ground hog's Day?
Mom tries to explain
Maddi: Hmmm ok. What else do Groundhogs do?
Mom tries to think. They run around underground? Eat? Play with the other Groundhogs?
Mom: They hang out
Maddi: No mom, they HI-BER-NATE.

Ok, ya got me. You know more about Groundhogs.
(and she emphasized the word as if I wouldn't understand her)

Maddi HI-BER-NATING

Gender stereotyping happens at such an early age...
Conversation with Andrew while getting ready to go pick up car pool.

Andrew: Why are you wearing that hat?
Mom: Because I don't have time to do my hair and so I threw on this hat.
Andrew: You look like a Police Man
Mom: Uh...ok
Andrew: You can't be a police man
Mom: Why?
Andrew: Cause you're a mom!
Mom: Moms can be police officers.
Andrew: No, you're a mom....But daddy can.
Mom: Why's that?
Andrew: Cause he's a dude.

uhhhhhhhh....excuse me?

Not so concerned about those stereotypes now, are ya?
