Why are boys and girls called son or daughter of the commandments?

The terms of "Bar Mitzvah" and "Bat Mitzvah", which is what the asker is driving at come from the idea that up until the point of Bar Mitzvah a boy is blameless for his sins and needs his parents to follow the commandments and atone for him. When a boy becomes Bar Mitzvah, he inherits the commandments and the direct responsibility for his actions. Since he is the youngest person in the room (i.e. no children are in the sanctuary) he is like a new son, the new generation. The concepts apply equally to Bat Mitzvah, but as girls are seen to mature more quickly than boys, the age of Bat Mitzvah is 12 while the age of Bar Mitzvah is 13.

Why did Baby boys originally wear the color blue?
As Stephen Fry said on QI, - The people who were traditionally dressed in pink and called girls were boys. Pink was considered the traditional colour for boys and blue for girls in the 19th century. In 1927, there was a report about Princess Astrid of Belgium who had decorated her son's room pink, only for her to give birth to a daughter. Part of the reason why blue may be seen as the traditional colour for girls is because the Virgin Mary is dressed in blue. Right until the mid-15th century, all children were referred to as girls, boys were called "knave girls" and girls were called "gay girls". The word "boy" originally meant "servant".
