Chairs

Several years ago when my youngest daughter was still little, she was playing one day in our kitchen.  As she walked around the kitchen table, she would assign a gender to each chair.  She would say, “This is a boy chair, this is a girl chair, this is a girl chair, this is a boy chair” and so on.  The gender of the chairs seemed to be totally random because it didn’t alternate for every chair and there wasn’t a boy chair for every girl chair. Nor did it seem to have anything to do with the gender of the person that usually in that position around the table.  I took an interest in her game and then I asked her this question: Do you know how to tell the difference between the boy chairs and the girl chairs?  She didn’t have an answer for me.  I had an answer for her.  If you want to know the answer that I gave her, send me an email at art@artwheelermusic.net.
