Are boys better at science?

Everyday on my way to the bus stop, I pass 2 kids on their way to school. A brother and sister about 7 and 8 years old.

This morning they were both helmeted and riding push scooters. I stepped aside so they could pass me on the sidewalk.

As I did, I overheard the boy say, "Albert Einstein."

His sister said, "Who?"

The boy said, in consternation over his sister's abysmal ignorance, "You know, Albert Einstein, the first scientist ever born."
