Pretty in Pink


Bela now likes to pick the clothes she wears. And she always chooses pink. From top to toes.

I wonder what it is with the color  pink and young girls? Are girls born to like the color? Or am I just perpetuating a cliche? Are parents --- and grandparents! --- just brainwashed by manufacturers of kids' clothes and toys into thinking that all girls like pink?

And what if a young girl shows preference for say, blue? Or what if a boy shows a liking for pink? Isn't it true that we try to change their tastes?

Conformists we all are. And not just with colors.
