Jan: J. Crew put out a catalogue and there’s a photo of the Creative Director with her five-year old son and his toenails have been painted pink and there's this bottle of pink nail polish front and center and all the major media celebs are out there making a big deal of this. People are actually saying that this is some kind of transgender propaganda.
Joe: Huh? Are you serious?
Jan: Yeah. People are making a big deal out of this. What the hell is wrong with these folks?! I mean, it’s a friggin’ lark....it’s fun....a mother having a loving time with her sun. Jesus!
Joe: Well, it is pink.
Jan: What?!! Are you gonna say that this is emasculating this kid....are you going to jump on this bandwagon?
Joe: Uh, no.
Jan: Our society is self-analyzing itself to death!
Joe: Hey, the news shows have to fill air time.
Jan: Yeah, but it doesn’t have to be so damned insipid.
Joe: Chill out. Let’s go for a walk.
Jan: God help us.
Well you have to wonder what the poor little kids friends are going to say about it. I mean, there really is nothing wrong with it but kids see things differently than adults and they don't hold back. Hopefully he won't have any problems over it.
