Conversation With a 6-Year-Old: Gender Stereotype Edition

Me: Now, you should get some sleep.

A: But I don't want the outside of me to be asleep, when the inside of me is sick.

Me: Did you know that sleeping is the time that your body is best at fighting off bugs?

A: Really?

Me: Yes.

A: You, know, I guess girls really do say "fight" sometimes, right?

Me: ... yes? ...

A: It's not just a word for men.

Me: No, fight is absolutely not just a word for men.
