So this morning, Nora was playing with Alphabet Pal, "the toy that says every ethnic slur but wop!," when she suddenly got very excited:
NORA: Mommy! Daddy! Guess what!
PHIL: What?
NORA: Alphabet pal just hung from a leaf in the shape of an upside-down "j"! And he made a cocoon! So that means that he is going to be a moth, and not a butterfly!
(Some children are obsessed with dinosaurs, and not that she's not obsessed with dinosaurs, but holy crap, the lepidoptera. No one but no one gets as excited about the ubiquitous cabbage white as this girl!)

I saw Alphabet Pal up in her room. I told her that Frankie's Grammy has one just like it and she asked me "what color".
I didn't make the connection between the caterpillar thing and the name "Alphabet Pal" and thus the ethnic slurs until now.
Can't wait until the next time I'm in NJ to try it out.
