The reality is though, that men do not grow up with that gene. My Mom used to say men are wired differently and she was right. My hubs told my Daughter he really liked her hair when she had chopped off to donate last time. Me? I cried. *g* Of course we also laughed like loons the first time a boy called her. It was more like hysterical laughter, but... probably not as supportive as we should have been.<br /><br />You Are Bouncy<br />You are an energetic and adventurous person. You're game for just about anything.<br />You are also highly idealistic, though your ideals change frequently and unpredictably.<br />You are spontaneous and inspired. You never stay bored for long - there's too much to be excited about.<br />You are very playful and enthusiastic. You can't help but be lighthearted and merry! <br /><br /><br />Yes and no. <br /><br />I hope you're having nice day!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-14738019015103802902010-12-01T08:55:05.745-05:002010-12-01T08:55:05.745-05:00Dru, I'm endlessly amused that we get the same...Dru, I'm endlessly amused that we get the same answers to our quizzes so often and we're such different people! *G*<br /><br />Joanna, I don't deny she needs to toughen up. I guess the difference IMHO is this: a daughter needs to know that her father admires her, is proud of her, and thinks she's beautiful. If she has that kind of support, then what other people say doesn't matter so much.<br /><br />I always knew my dad loved me (he used to sing "You Are So Beautiful" to me all the time -- made me squirm as a kid, but it made a world of difference).Marianne Arkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934613403368823760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-63567700183258460272010-12-01T08:26:51.518-05:002010-12-01T08:26:51.518-05:00well he is kinda right *ducks* I grew up with brot...well he is kinda right *ducks* I grew up with brothers and they tormented me to no end and since tattling was also uncool I had to endure it alone.
