How to Tell the Sex of a Fly
<VBG> To an extent, it reminds me of the time when my DH asked how I could tell the sex of squirrels... I referred to them - mostly - as "she" and he assumed I knew something that he didn't, being from "the old country"...
The answer was very simple and disappointing: "wiewiorka" (Polish for "squirrel") is of feminine gender, grammatically speaking... My body used English, but my spirit still functioned in Polish :)
