I asked if they knew that word cause I feel like it’s not tossed around enough anymore. Some did some didn’t. But it was just so cool for a 3rd grader to somewhat understand that. I was surprised but I said it’s not exactly (correct me if I’m wrong!). Tomboys are girls feeling they’re more boyish but still girls. It was just such a cool moment tho. Idk if they directly teach that, he def knows from environment and social media but still!
