We had a baby shower today for the boss, with pizza and cake.
����I bought her a $60 bonsai tree -- an expensive gift, given my relationship to her; but it seemed like a good idea to have this living thing that ages as the child ages.
����But then everyone gets talking, and they're so excited about dressing it up like it's a doll, and the baby's theme is ducks, and everything is pink, and the 4 year old brother is already like "me boy, you girl - I will protect you!" and the boss lady delights: (gendered behavior is) "SO CUTE!!!!!!!" (he's just like a miniature steven seagal!!!)
����And now I feel foolish for having spent that much. I could have bought a stuffed duck or some barbie booties for $12.
