So, the past couple of weeks, I've experienced The Gender Thing first-hand.

Not that it's uncommon, of course, but this was kind of a perfect example of how kids get gendered from birth. Or, in this case, before birth.

One of our sports guys just became a father for the second time. He has a five year old girl already. He and his wife were hoping for a boy this time--and expecting one, since ultrasounds had said that's what they were getting.

Well, it wasn't a boy. After baby showers and a boy-themed nursery, etc. it wasn't until the c-section that they found out they had another daughter.
