“There is in my land”

Avery recently got invited to a birthday party for four (male) classmates. When I told her who the party was for she said, “I don’t want to go because there will be boy things there.” I took her comment as a teachable moment – and I started to explain that girls and boys can like the same things and that there are no such things as “boy things” and “girl things.” “There is in my land,” she replied.
