That’s my girl
The local mall has a play area for kids and toddlers. It features various plastic playthings, like a slide and a plastic log for kids to walk across. Junior really enjoys going there and we try to take her once a week. Yesterday, I took her there for a little bit.
There was another guy there with his son and I struck up a conversation with him. We talked about the kids’ ages (his was two), the mall, Christmas and other stuff. While this was going on, Junior stood at the step to the large plastic log mulling whether or not this would be the day she actually tried to climb up on it (she hasn’t yet). Then, here comes the little boy who walks right up to Junior, pushes her shoulder (like men do when they try to pick a fight), and says what I figure is two-year-old for Outta my way.
Without hesitation, Junior takes both hands and pushes the little boy to the ground and says what I figure is 17-month-old for Oh no, you just didn’t. I was proud.
She never did climb up on the plastic log.

Heh heh. +1 to MKS.
When my daughter was in the infant room at daycare, I walked in to get her one day and found the two older babies, both of whom were boys, cowering in the corner. My daughter was in the center of the room surrounded by what appeared to be every toy in the room.
They were AFRAID of her…
My only comment was that I hoped she kept that up for the next 20 or so years…
