Jen and Jen

I have something in common with this little child.  We both are named Jen.  When I asked the mother her name, she told me Jen.  How cool that I can share a name with such a sweet little girl.  As I was holding her, the mother said "he".  I was confused by what she was talking about, but she said it again and then I realized that the little child I was holding was not a girl, but a boy.  One would assume that if the child is wearing pink and named Jen it would be a girl.  That is one thing that I definitely noticed in the children - looking at their clothes did not indicate their sex.  I came to realize that warm clothing is much more important than gender appropriate clothing.
