The Wisdom of an Almost 8 Year Old Boy

This is a recent conversation Alex and I had

Alex-Mom isn't it true that orange tiger cats are almost always boys and that it's rare to see a girl orange tiger cat?
Mom-Yes they are almost always boys
Alex-Is that why we got Bigs? (our orange cat for those of you not in the know)
Mom-We got Bigs because I always wanted an orange tiger cat, and since they're almost always boys that worked out too because I wanted a boy cat.
Alex-Why?
Mom-Because boy cats are nicer.
Alex-Hmmmm...yeah Bigs is nicer than Bruin & Semi, especially Bruin.  Why are boy cats nicer?
Mom-It's their nature, they just are.
Alex-Oh yeah, like with bees.  Boy bees just buzz around and girl bees sting people.
Mom-You're right.
Alex-It's like that with most animals, the girls are always meaner.  They are nasty.
Mom-Oh really?
Alex-Yup girls are trouble.
Mom-Please remember that when you become a teenager.
Alex-Huh?
