Re: those earnest Christmas morning attempts to stir latent science-and-engineering passions.
I consider myself the least likely person on earth to hold a certificate from the UW Madison College of Engineering. But in retrospect, perhaps not….
Thanks, Dad.
Why do I call it “yellow” hair and not “blond” hair? Because I’m pretty sure everybody calls my hair “brown.” When I read fairy tales to my daughter I always change the word “blond” to “yellow,” because I don’t want her to think that blond hair is somehow better.

Word. But, predictably, Ms. Fey’s sincere attempts at building positive brown hair image don’t work. Little three-year-old Alice prefers Sleeping Beauty to Snow White every time. (And when my dad gave me Capsela, hoping to stir latent science-and-engineering passions, I immediately built a car for Barbie.)
Alice will come around, though. It may take her, oh, two decades, but at some point she’ll stop highlighting the life our of her brunette locks and learn that brown is the sexiest. Don’t believe me? Peep Mandie’s blog and get back to me.
