I said I would post these when I found them. They are from the book Bring Up Boys.
Dr. Dobson recieved this list from a little girl and he put it in a news letter,

An irritated mother wrote, "Would you consider publishing a similar letter entitled 'Boys are More Better than Girls'?" Then she commented, "I doubt it; it would not be politicaly correct." He said it was the first time he's ever been accused of being PC. In his next monthly letter he asked boys to send their comments to him.
Gotta go for now the boys are doing an 800 square ft. pour, for you math guys 140 yds. of concrete, if you are wondering it is suppose to be 6 in. thick I believe. They need 14 trucks to haul that much mud. C-ya later.

There was also hand written notes as to what some kids thought about the girls are more better than boys list.Maybe I'll share a few later.
Okay here is a letter from an 8 year old girl, that touched my heart.
I am eight years old. I read the letter that Elizabeth Hays wrote about girls being better than boys. I don't think anything on that list is true. I have two brothers that are just as special as I am. There is a verse in the bible that says, "For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7 NKJV). We should all try to look at other people the way the Lord looks at us.
Here is a funny one from a boy who didn't give an age.
I was reading throu [your letter] and I saw the list of thirty-one reasons girls are better than boys. Know what I did with it? I stomped on it! your friend, Peyton. P.S. you have my permission to print this.
And just so you know the point of this in the book was to show that even children understand that there is a difference in boys and girls. It is a great read even if you don't have kids and has a lot of info, it also has some references.
I believe it's more better
I kind of thought you might change your mind once the other list was posted. I thought this was pretty funny, kids can come up with the funniest stuff. My daughter told me about a week or so ago that when she dies and goes to heaven she doesn't want to be a boy in heaven.
I didn't ask why I just let her know that when she goes to heaven she will be so busy praising God that she won't care. She was satisfied with the answer and is "excited to see God but not ready"
