Childhood Artifact



Pink and Blue
Pink is a color, a color that most little girls love. And of course their mothers adore their little girls in pink, so they dress their little dears in pink dresses, pink bows, and pink socks (and undies). They say Pink is for girls and Blue is for boys. But when the little girls grow up (around the ages 8-11) they sneer their noses to Pink.
And when the not-so-little-anymore girls' mothers buy them pink dresses, pink bows, and pink socks, (and undies) the not-so-little girls say "Yuck! Pink is ugly." And their mothers sigh. And the not-so-little-girls take interest in other colors, like blue, especially. So they get into blue and then about the age of 11 they think Pink is not so bad a color after all. But of course they still don't wear pink and they still say to their friends "Pink, YUCK! But actually they really do like Pink!!!

P.S. I am going through the process of pink and blue myself!

I'm one of those girls who has always thought "Yuck!" about pink. I'm so not a pink girl. Good thing I have boys! :)
