A conversation we had tonight over dinner went like this:
William: So does “Mankind” mean just a lot of men?”
Me: No, it means all men and women. In fact, some women are bothered that it is called “Mankind” because it doesn’t sound like it includes women.
Anna: Do boys ever feel left out because we eat girl-cheese sandwiches?
Me: (Laughing) They are actually called grilled cheese sandwiches, not girl cheese sandwiches.
