Last night as we lay in bed waiting for Law & Order to come on, I asked Graham if he usually pictures a girl or boy child when he imagines our future kids. While I tend to imagine it’s a girl, he says he alternates between the two.
It’s not that I have a preference for a girl…I think it’s just that I imagine a female child because I am female. It’s that simple. Sometimes when I see little boys with their dads, I think about how nice it would be to have a little Graham running around. He would sing, most definitely, and probably dance, too, because his dad does. He would no doubt have his own set of tools within a week or so of life.
“So, how does that work, again? I have girl and boy genes and you only have girl genes?”
“Yeah, you have X’s and Y’s and I only have X’s.”
“So if we wanted a boy I’d just have to hold back my Y’s, right?”
“Right, sweetie.”
Heh.
