Don't get the forced stereotypes for kids. Impossible to not buy something blue for boys. Girls must wear pink. Boys must play hard and scars are good for character. Girls must be protected like rare orchids and be blemish free. Boys need less taking care of. Girls need borderline paranoid parents.
Who made these rules? Is it necessary to be this way to fit in?
Sorry Dot, you will be wearing yellows and greens while I am still the one deciding.

Dear Dot

You kicked the laptop off my tummy while I tried playing some rabindrasangeet to you.

I'll just get used to it. Not expecting you to like anything your parents like for the first two decades of your life. That is what cool kids do. Rebel.
