only girls have sparkles

This evening I got to just sit and draw with my daughter on the magnetic wipe off board. She would draw a scribble and then demand my help with extra's like hands or arms. My favorite was the pink-purple sparkly shark she drew. (It was a gray blob with lump on one end, until she started to describe it) I made the mistake of asking if the boy green-purple shark had sparkles too. That is when I was educated in sparkles. Apparently, only girl's have sparkles. She demonstrated her point by dragging out her ponies who were obviously female since one had shimmery hooves and one had glittery hair. The boy ponies weren't exciting enough she just kind of waved her hand in their general direction. They get fur. Hmmm. Now you know, so you won't insult and embarrass yourself in front of a preschooler the way I did.
