LOL (first I am not being serious, just goofing around with you), but the singular text of kid is what i was referring too; not the sex, so male female is not relavent to the comment. Your statements leave me wondering if you have one "kid" (singular tense), or "they" (indicating more than one) since this discussion was about reading, I thought it cute that the "read" was like this.

If you have one child then....

"My kid ({child properly called, an animal has a kid} singular tense) can read... He (or) She just got... (also singular)"

OR if you have more than one child...

"My children (plural) can read... They (plural) just got..."

And I am just goofing, I can't spell wortha crap LOL, so I guess I just set myself up real good here

Like I said: I never say, "He or she or her or him." It's a singular he or she or her or him.
