However... girls are more dainty so they require a swimming distance closer to the honey pot!

Just like you are doing now!

You get extra credit today...What a brilliant post! You get extra credit today for your clever combination of X and Y. And you get bonus points for the photo detective work. I first thought girls too. But when I went back and looked at their faces, they really do look like boys in spite of the dresses. I have a picture of my grandfather in a dress, but he was younger than the boys in your photo -- I think.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-3773745708100351252012-04-28T18:25:16.405-05:002012-04-28T18:25:16.405-05:00I can't help it - - - the BIOLOGY TEACHER IN M...I can't help it - - - the BIOLOGY TEACHER IN ME must come out.<br /><br />The sex of the baby is STILL all about insemination - - - which is what the male does to the female. It is the MALE gametes (OK - - - that's sperm) which can either carry the X or the Y. The female gamete (egg) can ONLY carry an X.<br /><br />So - - - all those old nasty kings who said "off with her HEAD" about his queen who wasn't giving him anything but daughters - - - what they REALLY should have said was "Off with MY head" 'cause their little Y's just weren't fast swimmers.<br /><br />OK - - - enough from me.<br /><br />Very fun post.Keetha Broyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850398844489825600noreply@blogger.com
