Why it's better to be a boy

A colleague at work forwarded a jpeg image to me, which sparked an amusing dialogue. Here's the image:


I'm not taking this warning very seriously; maybe if I was another ten or fifteen years older it would hit closer to home. But naturally, I had to respond to the sender.

The dialogue is colour-coded so you can keep the characters straight. Hint:  blue is for boy.

Every pre-pubescent boy's fantasy! (I don't know what little girls do for entertainment. They're at *such* a disadvantage.)

I am not going there!

... can't even write their names in the snow.

Yet can write novels at a very young age.

Hah! You call that *fun*?!!!

And that's where the dialogue ended. My last point was so compelling she turned off her computer and left work early.
