According to the website „Gender Specific Colors,” it would seem that assigning color to gender is mostly a 20th century trait. It would also seem that at one time, the color associations were reversed when color first came into use as a gender identifier. In fact, this reversal of what we consider „normal” was considered conventional, even in the early 20th century.

If this does not make you laugh out loud, you have lost your sense of humour. The other night I was invited out for a night with the „girls”. I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, „I promise!” Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily. Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times.
