Gender, according to Reid, who studies such things

Reid and I were discussing the weather and I said that the forecast called for rain. She asked if the weather man had said it would rain and I said that I thought it had been a woman who reported on the weather. Reid summarized, as she is wont to do, that “the weather woman said so.” (Does anyone else now have an image of the stereotypical buxom weather girl in their heads?)
For some reason, we got to talking about what a weather man was called as a child. I was expecting Reid to say “boy” but she said instead, “When people are little, they are farmers.” Oh, I’ve got 2 degrees and had never heard that before. You learn something new every day with a preschooler in your house.
