"I was really surprised to find out that all babies start out as girls"

I looked at her like this Hmm

"Well like they're all girls and then boy parts develop."

Me, "Well their genitals all look the same until a certain point when they develop into boy or girl parts, but DNA is what determines gender and that doesn't change."

Her," well yeah but they're all girls in the beginning."

I dropped it at that point.... She's 17 weeks pregnant with her first right now...

I'm scared to ask her where her umbilical cord is attached, she might say her belly button...

just thought I'd give y'all a good laugh... BTW she also felt the baby move at 6 weeks and when her dr told her not to eat carbs b/c she's overweight and he wants her to eat healthier and lose weight while she's pregnant she ate a bunch of oreos b/c those aren't carbs at all (according to her) She also told me I was going to turn my kid gay by playing heavy metal music while in utero... Indifferent

Azrayla · April 2010

Actually I've been told before that they all start as girls too..dont remember but it's been said to me more than once..Not saying I ever believed it, but I did hear it

And LOL for the music comment.. Guess my LO will be hard core gay as well..Alas..No teen pregnancy here!

Keena80 · April 2010

Ummm...

nanabanana06 · April 2010

Your friend sounds like she is going to be a wonderful mother... maybe she should invest in some basic fetal developement books. However, she does sound like 2 of my friends. They are guys mind you, but they both have kids. When I first found out I was pregnant they were trying to convince me that babies had gills and that how they breathe in utero. They even went as far as to say that if they are born prematurely they will still have the gills... riiiight...

monimonimoni · April 2010

Your friend = WOW Indifferent lol

My husband is a radio dj specializing in death metal and he often plays it around the house too -does that mean our baby is going to be super gay???

Her face made this Indifferent look like nothing... lol

Sounds like my friend who told me at 14 weeks that there might still be a chance that we were having twins even though there was only 1 baby on the 12 week scan because our baby could split into two that is how identical twins are formed. I considered explaining the cell splitting thing and the fact that it had to happen back at the 1-2 cell stage but then just smiled and walked away.

JamieFL · April 2010

I couldn't be friends with anyone that ignorant. Holy Lord!

SarahZ05 · April 2010

Well wasn't that... special...

As for the music issue, I was so proud of my friend's 5yo when he turned to his mom in the car and said, "Mommy, can we listen to Pantera on the ride home?" No joke. And I hope my kid turns out half as awesome.

Allie30 · April 2010

I am also curious why you are friends with this person. I mean, aside from the fact that she's clearly very funny to have around.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. The "they start as girls" statement is based on the fact that all eggs are "female" and carry the X sex chromosome, and even if there is no sex chromosome in the sperm (i.e., no X or Y), a viable baby can develop. The baby will be XO instead of XX or XY. XO babies are deemed female, though they will be sterile and have other birth defects. It's called Turner syndrome. (Note: there are other, similar, chromosomal abnormalities that also fall under the heading of Turner syndrome.)

Holy crap. This, totally. Ignorance should be painful. I can't stand to be even in the same room around ignorant people.

IrethMommy · April 2010

I'm sorry that you have to deal with this person. I also feel sorry for the child that will have to deal with this woman as a mother.

A man at work tried to tell me this, too! He's 50 years old, never had kids, and still lives with his parents, and we think he's a little crazy. So of course I just laughed and said "hey, maybe!"?

Hawt83 · April 2010

ah, all you can do is laugh eh??

arpetree1 · April 2010

Since that type of music turns you gay...um, you should buy her the Metalica(sp) Lullaby CD.

ZoeyMarie · April 2010

LOL! This started my morning off with a giggle...Thanks! Smile

Why, for the love of God, is this woman pregnant? Ignorant women piss me off, especially pregnant ignorant women that don't take the time to educate themselves the child they're producing. Is she this dumb about everything? Do you have a hard time being friends with this person? I can deal with flakey and a little out thre, but straight up stupid I cannot. Good luck not smacking the *** out of her when you have a bad hormone day.

BuffaloKEG · April 2010

She sounds really smart!

lol, we love having her around! she's a great source of entertainment... I have about lost it it with her a couple times... but manage to hold my tongue. lol

she's always good for a good laugh though! and yes she is this dumb about everything and i don't consider her a bff or anything, more like an aquaintance

i'm not quite sure why she's pregnant... she is pretty ignorant about everything, i also feel bad for her baby...

VABride2008 · April 2010

I have some friends who would say something close to this. They are a real peach to deal with!! I usually get a good laugh though!

Kimmy1836 · April 2010

and you are friends with her....why?

She sounds charming. Especially the part about turning your child 'gay' by playing a certain type of music.

aldyn · April 2010

Well, there was a popular book several years ago called "Why do Men Have Nipples" and it basically explained it that developing embryos develop the same until a certain point where the sex hormones kick in and they start to differentiate. Nipple formation happens before that point so both boys and girls get nipples even though boys have no use for them ~ so in that way they kind of start out as girls, but not really because like most normal people know, your sex is based on your chromosomes and those are set from the point of conception.

blondek8 · April 2010

Wow. Another idiot having children. Grreat.. The metal thing turning kids gay is a new one for me, as is carb-free Oreo cookies. Has she had a lobotomy in the past?

That book was funny, although I think I liked the idea of it more than I actually liked it.
