Why do they never have sons?

This morning, when I first heard someone say the title The Gerbil Farmer's Daughter, I thought, Ha! Someone has finally written a book that parodies the "Female Relatives of Men with Interesting-Sounding Occupations" publishing trend and title formula! (and Damn, I should've done it first!).

But no. The Gerbil Farmer's Daughter is a memoir by a gerbil farmer's daughter.

See also this button in Shelf Check's Zazzle store, such as it is, at the base price of $1.95 because I'm interested in people wearing it, not in making money off it. You can also change it (font, text, etc.) or make your own.
