by the way

We were at McDonald's yesterday and Casper got a Happy Meal Katara, from the film they are now calling The Last Airbender. She noted that the Katara looked all wrong, not like Katara is supposed to look, including, "her skin is supposed to be more brownish." It was me who pointed out the sadly missing hair loopies.

Sadly, though, while Casper gets a House Point for Noticing Whitewashing, Dillo gets -10 points for Gender Fail. Because he pitched a fit at getting a Katara too, wanting an Aang, and said she was a "stupid girl," and mr. flea had to go exchange his Katara for a stuffed Momo (their under-3 toy).

Heh. Meanwhile my boy is going through a phase where he wants to grow his hair out, paint his toenails regularly (his sister and I do it, it must be cool) and be pretty.

I am basically fine with this although the urge to give him a back-and-sides is sometimes almost overwhelming. The argument that it will grow out more attractively if it is trimmed once in a while doesn't seem to be working with him.
