Fashion has no moral compass

This was Maya's hairdo request for Papa's work Party last night:
"Nelly Olsen Curls"

Maya has a history of preferring story villians over the heroine, based on style issues.  For example, when she plays Cinderella, she often chooses to be Anastasia who gets to wear a Magenta dress..... which trumps Cinderella's (not favorite) blue.

Double Standard

Genna is deep into the "Why" phase now.  I find it amusing when she pulls it on Maya, who patiently answers her endless string of "whys" until I start giggling at them and Maya realizes she's been trapped!

However, if you ask Genna....
Why don't you use your spoon?  Why are you eating the markers?  Why did you take Maya's shoes?  Why are you naked?  Why are you jumping off the table?  Why are you screaming?  ....................

Her answer is (because):
"Me Watt to"
