This past Saturday, Blu and I took Manny to his flag football game. I am Manny's second mom almost every Saturday because his mother works on Saturdays. His father past away in February. On the car ride they were debating with me their needs for siblings. Blu is good at sports, but she's humble, Manny is not. It's funny to see the differences in them appear.

Blu: Mom, do you know that people think I am good at sports?
Tara: Well, you are. But what made you say that?
Blu: When I made that second 3-pointer when playing basketball with the boys at church they said, "Do you know what you just did?" Then when we were bowling, and I put a spin on the ball and picked up the spare, Devin said, "Do you know what you just did?"
Tara: You are good at sports. You develop the skills quickly for what ever game you are playing. You could say, "Yeah, I'm all that and a bag of chips."
Blu: Yeah, I'm all that and a bag of chips. With extra salt!
Tara: But you are humble and probably won't say that.
Blu: This is true.

So, at the game, Blu and I are watching the football game where everyone on the field is male, and all of the cheerleaders and sponsors are female.

Blu: It's not fair Mommy.
Tara: What's not fair?
Blu: That girls can't play football. I don't want to be a cheerleader, I want to be running for touchdowns and blocking running backs and stuff. If girls are big and strong enough, they should be allowed to play with the boys.
Tara: Well, there are some girls that are on football teams, but some of the guys make it difficult for them. But, in Dallas there are rugby teams that are just for women.
Blu: What's rugby?
Tara: It's like football, but no shoulder pads or helmets.
Blu: Ohhh COOL!
Tara: Do you want to play rugby?
Blu: Totally.
Tara: You remember Erika? She plays ice hockey.
Blu: Erika rocks.

I guess I am raising a little feminist.
