Gender Roles

We have a wedding coming up for which Phoebe will wear a purple dress. Today during lunch she was talking about how pretty her purple dress is, and how excited she is to wear it. Bryan, feeling playful, decided to tease her a bit.

Phoebe: I'm going to wear my purple dress.

Bryan: No, I'm going to wear your purple dress.

Phoebe: NO! You can't wear it! You're a boy, you wear a blue dress.

Oh dear...
