Yesterday I collected some rough data on the digit ratios of the girls in the classroom. 14 had a digit ratio of 1 or greater, while 8 had a ratio less than 1. Only a couple of the girls in the latter group might seem tomboyish. What are the implications of this for the claim that digit ratio is a sign for prenatal androgen exposure? Maybe the sample needs to be analyzed carefully before any meaningful conclusions can be drawn.

Last week in the K class there was a mom volunteering for the morning class - she reminded me of someone who went to that school 15 years ago? Was it the same girl? She had a daughter in K.
