Spiky Hairdo

Joe's Aunt Kate and Uncle Scott got him a subscription to a little magazine called Baby Bug which features short stories, songs, and poems, all revolving around the theme of that month's issue. They feature a reoccurring dynamic duo of a little girl named Kim and her ever-present companion, the stuffed bunny Carrots. In one Baby Bug, Kim and Carrots take a bath* and Kim gets a spiky hairdo as does Carrots. Joe has been asked before during bath if he would like a spiky hairdo, and has always responded in a very worried tone "no spiky hairdo," but that all changed tonight.

*We also wonder about Carrots being allowed in the tub.

  1. Nick loved getting Babybug! We always wondered if Kim could be interpreted as a boy rather than a girl - the character always struck us as very androgynous, and we think that the modern worldview includes boys named Kim, right? Would love to hear what other Babybug readers think!!
