Isn't it funny how our ECE can fly out of heads sometimes?

Sometimes, when we are with our own children or our friends children, we find our ECE knowledge heading right out of our heads. Perhaps as we are sort of on downtime at that point, relaxing, etc. Maybe other professionals experience the same thing when they are in another mode. So today, while chatting with a colleague, another one was chastising her for purchasing a pink cup for her son. Never would we ever do that to a child's parent while on duty. We would not generally even think it. We always discourage gender-specific labels and parameters. Yet, there she was doing it. I raised my eyebrows and waited until she looked my way. "Wha???" she said. I then explained my thoughts and she was shocked too. She looked sheepish. So then we both celebrated his new cup!
