To not know whether 'Maisy' is a male or a female mouse...?

[DabblingInDisaster]

You know, from the books... its not really gender specific......

I call 'her' a 'she' because of the name.... but 'she' is usually wearing 'boys' clothes... at least the duck wears a tutu occassionally....

[hairtwiddler]

Miffy def a girl. She's called Nijntje in our house ("ninetchuh") because we have lots of Dutch Dick Bruna books. Many many pictures of her wearing dresses.

[MsDemeanor]

Well the name is a bit of a giveaway, surely? Not to mention her dresses and frilly pants. What else do you expect? Anatomical drawings of her little mouse vulva?

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Snuffy was a girl! She had puppies!

[hairtwiddler]

Funnily enough Maisy is just called 'Maus' in our Dutch dvds, although I always assumed she was female because of her British name.

[TsarChasm]

Maisy is a girl. And that Elephant she hangs about with is very annoying.

[DontCallMeBaby]

Quite right, MrsS, Snuffy is definitely a girl, I remember because it threw me slightly her being referred to as she/her, because dogs seem to be male by default in my little brain. Pippin likewise - the canine thespian might be a boy, but the character is definitely a girl.

Maisy has somehow mostly passed us by (have I had a lucky escape) but how on earth can you allow dungarees to override completely obviously girls' name?!

personaly knowing Lucy Cousins who INVENTED Maisy, (and her panda is based on her oldest daughters comfort toy 'panda')

Maisy IS a girl!

[4andnotout]

I was trying to explain to my bil that dd3 is called Maisy and not Macey as he insisted on calling her, so i used Maisy mouse to demonstrate and the heathen had never heard of her He calls himself a parent

[vonsudenfed]

Elephant not as annoying as that little yellow bird. Always referred to as irritating Tallulah in this house. Cupcakes, handbags, hair ornaments... wasn't there a thread about this...

And is it just me or is Cyril the Squirrel gay? He dusts and likes fine art in the Maisy's House book (and is therefore known as Cyril Sewell).

[Botbot]

Blimey, I'm guilty of gender stereotyping here then. My opinion on Snuffy being a boy was based on solely the book that I had as a child - Snuffy and the Fire.

He's a firefighter, therefore he's a boy.

Shame on me

[MsDemeanor]

lol at Cyril Sewell!

[Weegiemum]

Maisy is certainly a very big mouse.

Either that or Eddie is a very small elephant!

[clutteredup]

Now now we know that size doesn't really matter - especially if they are supposed to be boys

[nannyL]

maisy IS a girl!
