What Are We Teaching our Daughter?

David started school again this week and has been very busy :( So he has not had time to mow the lawn. I kept telling him I would do it, but just have not felt like it. So this morning he kind of had that tone of "well I guess I will have to mow the lawn." I took that as a personal jab, so I got to work. But it is not about the mowing the lawn that I am writing about, I told Cait that I was going to go out and mow the lawn and this is what the response was:
Cait: Girls don't mow the lawn?

Me: Girls can mow the lawn if we want to.

Cait: That is a daddy job, you're not supposed to do that, you'll get dirty.

Me: Girls can get dirty, and we do a better job anyway.

Cait: That's just weird?

What is up with that? I suppose that since Cait can remember, I have not mowed the lawn, so it just isn't a girl thing to do. I hope she gets over that.
But a side note to me, I had the front and back lawn mowed, the flower garden weeded and the roses trimmed in less than an hour this morning. Yeah for me.

Just to even things out...my kids get very confused on the rare occasion that I vacuum. Scott's the carpets guy...enough so that Beth refers to the machine as "Daddy's vac."
