So, my son's premature sexism is bothering me way more than it probably should (he's only 3), but I'm thinking that the Science Center has the perfect solution for me.
On Thursday, kids are invited to come meet a real-live NASA astronaut -- and it's a woman!
Peggy Annette Whitson is an American biochemistry
researcher and a NASA astronaut. Her first space mission was in 2002,
with an extended stay aboard the International Space Station as a
member of Expedition 5.
So, whether you've got a little boy who doesn't think girls can play drums or drive ambulances (like I do) or a little girl who needs a little encouragement to "reach for the stars" (sorry, I couldn't resist the pun), take them over to the Science Center to meet this outstanding woman.
