Oh BRRITTNAE-
I had to come read your blog after seeing the comment that you left on mine, since you said that you did not learn any of the cooking stuff that I learned. I laughed so hard while reading yours, the situations aren't funny it's just the way that you wrote it haha. I did expect to see "do your chores before you can hang out with friends" one though since you always talk about that, and the one abou the perfume and scented things on your skin and how you react to it. It brought back some memories of a certain Costa Rica experience!! haha!! I also was taught that I had to wear a dress to church, but unlike you I LOVED it. The rules you wrote about boys are pretty common amoung girls I would think. Your blog and my blog show some of the most stereotypical things that girls are taught and I think that is really interesting. And this is getting super long so THE END.
Brittney Williams!
You were taught a lot of the same things I was. As Kendal put it below, we all have some of the most stereotypical things listed. We were taught to never let a man hit you, do ALL of your chores before hanging out with friends, and to eat our veggies.
One rule that stood out to me most was, "Don't be alone with a boy in his room; "But he's just my friend, I don't like him"; it doesn't matter, he's still a boy and they only have one thing on their minds;". Hahah... yeahhh... Definitely have been told that one before, many times. I felt like you were able to immulate the article well by putting into little conversations. Made it all the more interesting to read.
Good job lady : ]
