For the Record

My son wants "a blue Mohawk, a gold tooth and a spider tattoo."

I told him he could have all those when he is 18.  He can't wait to grow up.

Or on Halloween?

Darth Vader, last I heard, although I agree, that would be the opportune moment. Not sure about how we would do the gold tooth.

And what will your little gnome be for Halloween?

I was planning on being Frankenfurter and having him be Rocky (in a gold lame diaper cover) but a) someone reminded me that F. built R. to be a sex toy and ewwww on those implications, and b) too fucking cold to let the baby hang out in just a diaper cover. So I might just go with gnome, but I gotta figure out a baby-sized fake beard.

As for the fake tooth, voila: http://www.idigtoys.com/p-3695-pirate-pimp-fake-gold-tooth.html

Or maybe we could be a bailout--that's pretty fucking scary!

But why wait til 18 for the blue mohawk?

[fearfuloptimist]

Ah yes, you're right. I don't actually think he has to wait for that. But he does have to be willing to have me put gunk in his hair every day to keep it up, and he is not of the gunk-loving variety just yet. When he is, blue mohawk it will be.

Oh, he should talk to e shem, who loves the died mohawk look, and has declared that he wants to be a hair model and has asked for manequin heads with hair to practice on. I say go for it. E shem is getting his ear pierced soon too.. I am the one who wants the gold tooth though.

the girls want blue hair!!

It's a trend. Do they want gold teeth as well? If not, should I suggest it to them?
