Parenting Humblebrag

Have y'all seen this Verizon commercial,

about how girls are subtly steered away from science?

Well, it just made me clutch my feminist heart.

And I had to ask myself,

"Did I do that?  Did I not support The Girl?"

I mean, I still feel bad that I didn't show up

for all her academic awards.

(She got so many, y'all! It would have been a full-time job

to show up for all the award ceremonies!)

But then I reminded myself that a few weeks ago

she marched across a stage in a lab coat
to receive her biology teaching credential...

(The Boy, The Girl, and The Beau.)

... and she recently changed her Facebook profile picture

to one snapped of her at a science/teaching workshop, 

holding a human brain.

So, yeah.

Maybe I didn't do so badly on the encouraging-science front, after all.
