and boys blue is a made-up concept'  By Hull Daily Mail  | 
Posted: October 09, 2012  Comments (0)  It is a well-known fact
that pink is for girls and blue is for boys. From the moment a
friend (usually a woman) tells you they're pregnant, the next
few months are spent hovering around the baby clothes aisle in
the local supermarket trying to work out if it is safe to buy
non-gender defining green or red romper suits and dribble bibs.
Or, if it's your offspring about to make its big debut in the
world, you never quite know whether you should ask its sex at
the scan, purely so you can get on with painting the new nursery
in hues of lilac or shades of cobalt.  It's all ridiculous, of
course, why girls should have pink and boys blue is an entirely
made-up concept.  It's like saying all iguanas should have
orange trainers.  The iguana doesn't care either way.  Well, at
least all the iguanas I've ever met have never expressed a
preference.  Historica
