I wanted to share this with others who would find this comment as awesome as I did.
I am a mentor for a 9 year old girl through Big Brothers, Big Sisters. As one of our ongoing projects, we are scrapbooking some of the activites we have done throughout the months. While we were scrapbooking, I helped her write out the title Big Brothers, Big Sisters Outing on top of her page, and she said "Why is it Big Brothers then Big Sisters?? I want to put Big Sisters, Big Brothers." I laughed because I had the same thought as we were writing it out! I love how she can see inequality and comment on it so innocently.
Thanks for letting me share my story!
