Myth 1
People say that if a child looks like a certain gender, the next one will most likely be that gender. Aunties around my place are just so sure of that. They commented that my next one is a boy because Jaide looks like one. Fair enough. But how do they explain why Jayna turns out to be a beautiful girl when Joash looked every bit a boy and hardly anyone mistook him for a girl when he was a baby?
Myth 2
Many believe that letting the babies wear hand-me-downs will make sure that they become easier to raise and they'll be more obedient. They are confident that my children's good behaviour comes from the fact that I gave them old clothes to wear. Right. Don't they know by now that Jayna's temperament negates their theory? She wore hand-me-downs too but she's anything but easy to take care of.
I do pray that these people will one day see the folly of their superstitions and trust in the Truth. For the truth shall set them free.
