Stereotypes

Beth:	[age 5] "BOYS! They always do [...]."
Luke:	[age 9] "That's not true! I am not a stereotype!"
Beth:	"What is a stereotype?"
Luke:	"That's when you put people into groups and talk about them as if they all act the same way. Like saying... little boys like trucks, and little girls like dolls. As if every little boy liked trucks and hated dolls, and every little girl hated trucks and liked dolls. It's not true but people make it a stereotype and talk like it's true."
Beth:	"Then I am not a stereotype, too!"
