Sexism: The Good Kind

We are a few days out from Halloween. #2 opted for a piece of candy for his after dinner treat. He took quite a while searching through the cauldron of calories to find his choicest morsel. Would it be the Skittles? How 'bout the Reeces peanut butter cups? Maybe the Nerds? Could it be a Tootsie Roll?

It went on like this for what seemed to me an eternity. . .So, I offered my advice.

Me: Son, you need to just pick something. How 'bout a chocolate bar?

Him: MOM! (exclaimed in utter indignation as if I'd asked him to hurry up and pick out a nice glittery lip gloss to go with the pink PJ's I want for him to wear) Ladies ALWAYS choose chocolate!

I shall not correct this gross generalization.
