Girls vs. Boys

I'm pretty sure that most of you know that I have 6 boys and 1 girl, in that order.  I loved being a boy mom.  I never wanted a girl.  Boys have nearly 0 drama and get over things instantly.  They are fun and crazy and I never worried about offending them because they just had so much confidence and didn't take anything personally the way that girls do.  Then we had our girl and I worried a little that things were going to be much harder.  I kept waiting for them to get harder and they never did.  I don't know if it was because she lived with wolves, I mean boys, her whole life or if she was just born that way but she has been the most boy-like girl without being the least bit masculine that I have ever seen.  She has all the easy going qualities of the boys while not sacrificing any of the softness and sweetness of a girl.  Now that we are all adults I can't begin to tell you how thankful I am for her.  I realize that the wonderful things about the boys are really not so wonderful now that we are adults and I really want to talk to them and be a part of their lives.  Boys don't do small talk.  They don't care about stuff that I care about.  They have somebody else to talk to now.  I cherish going through college with Vannie.  She is hilarious.  She texts me and calls me about the littlest things and I love it!  Every word a boy says to her or even a look or any little detail is never too unimportant for her to share with me.  I share these with my husband and (except when a boy is involved) he just looks at me like, who cares?  Girls and boys are so different and it makes life wonderful.  What would we do without either one?
