My little feminist
6 Jan 2019 09:40 pm Sprout is really something in a lot of ways, as most parents would likely say of one of their children, but when it comes to her feminist streak...let's just say, her streak is a mile wide or more.
I am reading a book with her called Herstory: 50 Women and Girls Who Shook up the World, and while I blubber like a baby at some of the stories, she gets fired up and ready to go to war. It is too late for me to go into a lot of detail about the book or Sprout, but she said something to me today after we watched Aquaman that I wanted to record.
"Mom," she said, "do you want to know what I just made up? The robes of king can fit well on a queen."
To which I heartily agreed.
Then she came back and told me, "Here is another one: In a fight, brain makes more might."
She is in bed, and I can't ask if that second one was her exact wording, but the sentiment is there.
She might not ever shake up the whole world, but she sure shakes up mine.
