I saw this on my sister Angie's BLOG when Dylan was just over a year old, and could hardly wait to ask him the same questions.  Now I pretty much wish I'd waited another year or so.  There's a whole lot of "I don't know."  Although, to be fair, he was watching cartoons when I asked the questions.
 
Last night made me think about it, because while I was cleaning up from dinner he put my shoes on and wandered around the garden "pretending to be the mom."  He seems pretty clear that being a mom only involves telling people what to do. 
 
That said, it could have been worse!  Other than the whole not loving me thing.  That was pretty harsh.  But even that was ok, because it means that he is identifying himself as male and bonding with his father.  It's a good sign.  But it would be nice if he hadn't said it all the same.
