Little Girl Gone Wild — Hilarious or Horrifying?
Darla isn't in school yet, but she's already in training for Spring Break. UPDATE: Though the video has been removed, here's the gist: Her mother — who clearly has a sharp, if somewhat twisted, wit — has trained the toddler to lift up her shirt when mom says "Spring Break." I think it's pretty funny, because it seems unlikely that any mother this edgy could actually raise a future Girl Gone Wild.
Princess Culture Might Not Be Healthy For Girls
I know a very smart, independent, tomboyish 5-year-old who is enthralled by the idea of being a princess. It was Fiona from the Shrek films that got her hooked.

Parents Say No Thanks to Pilgrim and Native American Dress
If you grew up in America, you probably have memories of dressing up as pilgrims and Native Americans during your classroom Thanksgiving celebration.
