All of us moms know that children have a way of putting together the craziest outfits imaginable. My two year old has insisted on wearing sunglasses at night, a sundress in December, and likes to pair bright pink cowboy boots with fluffy skirts. If only we all had her courage and lack of self-consciousness! And with this sense of independence and wanting to dress themselves, comes a new parenting question.

My two year old is going through a major “Finding Nemo” phase. She can’t pronounce “Nemo,” so instead she says “MoMo.” She has a little plush Nemo doll that she carries around, is always asking about the movie, and actually waves goodbye to Nemo (I think she believes he lives in our TV) when we drive away from our house.

As we were walking downtown last fall, my daughter noticed someone sitting close by, with a scowl on their face. She asked me, “Mommy – why is that man so mad?” Pretty harmless, right? Well, it would have been if that man had been a man – and not a woman instead.
