Differences between Boys and Girls

A boy carries a baguette home and pretends it's a rifle, holding it up, pointing, aiming, and yelling in his 'mean voice,' "Shoot over there!"
(I know from experience.)

A girl carries a baguette home, and well, I don't really actually know. Carries it gingerly and daintily, imagining its perfect display for the evening meal?
(I'm guessing.)

A father finds the baguette-rifle hilariously inventive and giggles repetitively at the sight. He doesn't notice the perfect display at the evening meal; let's eat.
(I know from experience.)

A mother finds the baguette-rifle completely appalling and is concerned for the psychological well-being of her son. She takes pride in the perfect display at the evening meal and is crushed when no one notices.
(I'm guessing.)
