There is quite a difference between boys and girls. Sometimes, it boggles my mind the differences in how each gender processes information. My girls, are all about drama. Everything has emotional overtones. They are emotional beings. Not so with my son. (Or my husband, but that’s another post all together).

I have a funny related observation from the Robots movie tonight.

So we are sitting in the movie theater, eating pizza. I’m on the aisle; Dinara is next to me, then Emma, then John, then Noah. Emma and John are up stuffing their faces getting seconds of pizza and salad. Noah is munching away happily on pizza. He stops. Looks at me. And smiles. Then he exclaims:

Noah: “You know if Dad and Emma died while getting their pizza, I’d be ok here all alone”.
Me: (trying to be all mommy intuitive and sensitive) “Noah, are you feeling alone two seats away from us? Would you like to come sit by me?”
Noah: (just the facts mom!) “No. I’m ok. I’m just thinking that I’d be ok if they died right now”.
Me: (again, striving to inject emotion into the situation) “Uh. Don’t you think you’d be a bit sad?”
Noah: (reminding me yet again he’s male) ”Maybe till the movie started”.
