Anything Can Happen Day: The Differences between boys and girls

I know you probably were worried when you saw the heading... but fear not, this is not about "The Talk." I raised five daughters, then raised a group of four: two boys and two girls.  That was my first experience raising boys.  I observed some differences way beyond toilet seat positioning. Here are four:

fighting ....   Boys fight hard.  Girls fight mean.
running....    Girls run so they can do a cartwheel.  Boys run so they can crash into something [or each other].
"gross" eating ...  Girls chew up their food and open their mouths with a slice of tomato over their teeth. Boys chew up their food and open their mouths filled with a disgusting mosh of food
Teens dressing up ...   Girls fix their hair, fight for more makeup, and put on something pretty. Boys tuck their shirt in, maybe even a shirt with a collar.

So do these match your experiences or are they just peculiarities of my crew? What others have you noticed to add to the list?  Chime in!
