    Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.

    She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”

    Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it. 

    However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.” 

    My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.

    Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal :)

      You let them make age appropriate choices. There’s nothing wrong with letting the kid pick what kind of shoes they want...

I'm April, I'm 21 years old and studying photography in school. I'm an avid lover of music and am even learning to play the piano.

I will reblog anything that interests me, be it shows, movies, songs, musicians, actors, photography, comics, video games, and funny shit. I love memes.

My flickr can be found here, it's a bit of a mess as I'm still learning a lot and I haven't cleaned it up, but take a gander at it if you like.
