Boys or Girls?

Dr James Dobson is a great writer and psychologist.

I am reading one of his books about parenting (yeah, believe it) and this list/s made me buy the book in an instant.

Here is an excerpt from the book:

While carrying out Focus on the Family, he received regular summaries consisting of actual paragraphs and comments that his staff select for him to read. One of his most cherished is a list about girls and boys by nine year old Elizabeth C Hays.

Dear James Dopson,
I hope you like my list of girls are better than boys. You are a good guy. I am a Christian. I love Jesus.
Love,
Elizabeth C Hays.
p.s. Please don't throw my list away.

GIRLS ARE MORE BETTER THAN BOYS
1. girls chew with their mouths closed.
2. girls have better hand writing.
3. girls sing better.
4. girls are more talented
5. girls can do their hair better.
6. girls cover their mouths when they sneeze.
7. girls don't pick their nose.
8. girls go to the bathroom politely.
9. girls learn faster.
10. girls are more kinder to animals.
11. girls don't smell as bad.
12. girls are more smarter.
13. girls get more things what they want.
14. girls don't let stinkers as much.
15. girls are more quieter.
16. girls don't get as durty.
17. girls are cleaner.
18. girls are more attractive.
19. girls don't each as much.
20. girls walk more politely.
21. girls aren't as strict.
22. girls sit more politely.
23. girls are more creative.
24. girls look better than boys.
25. girls comb their hair better.
26. girls shave more.
27. girls put on deoderant on more often.
28 girls don't have a s much bodyodor.
29. girls don't want their hair messed up.
30. girls like to get more tan.
31. girls have more manners.

Dr Dobson was so amused by her creativity that he put it in his next monthly letter and mailed it to around 2.3million people. Some responses were funny, others were weighing on being 'politicaly correct'. So he had to compile a list of 'WHY BOYS ARE MORE BETTER THAN GIRLS' from all the responses he received as he invited boys to send in their lists.

Because I am a girl, I am not typing out that list. Not today, at least.

Here is a great video.
