One Thursday morning, my four-year-old son announced, "I'm going to wear a dress to school today."

I froze. I shouldn't have been entirely surprised, given Sam's history on the pink side of the dress-up box, but this was different.

The previous weekend, Sam and I visited his grandma in Malibu, where we wandered into a high-end children's boutique. Sam had eyed a pink, frilly sundress. "Can I have it?"
