Brendon insisted on the pink one. I didn't care, but knew other family members would be concerned that he selected such a "girly" color. It's a color!!! How did colors get designated genders?Domestic CEOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090131982528105549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127653.post-1147347617883994672006-05-11T07:40:00.000-04:002006-05-11T07:40:00.000-04:00I've never worn nail polish myself, but my sister ...I've never worn nail polish myself, but my sister does, and when she used to babysit my son, she used to put pink nail polish on him.
