Coolest Mom Ever
 

Stories like this restore some of my faith in humanity.

Not just that the mom let her son dress the way he wanted for Halloween, and not just that she encouraged and defended him, but that she wasn't the only one who did. His friends didn't care, either, which is pretty awesome. I wish this kid all the luck in the future, whether he's gay, straight, bi, etc.

She named the kid Boo, she has more important things to worry about.

I assumed Boo was a nickname.

I lol'd.
 

This is terrific.

Internet High Five, Cop's Wife.

When I first started reading the first quote I was apprehensive, because I was worried that it was going to start applying sexuality labels to bloody 5 year olds.

And then I read the rest and now I second the Internet High Five. Positive role modelling right here, for both Boo's classmates and just the world in general.

Mom's cool, though those other mothers are basically terrible people that should have been decked.

Surprise factor on parents ABC: low. This was a Christian school. That it was a hotbed for this kind of attitude is like saying grass is green.

That mom deserves a medal, though.

I dressed up as a Ninja Turtle one year and I wanted to be a Ninja Turtle.

Then my wish came true!

Sadly, decking stupid people doesn't generally fall under positive role modeling where five-year-olds are concerned.

The world would be a better place if we could just deck everyone who ran their mouth
 

Well, maybe YOU don't consider teaching five year olds to deck stupid people a positive thing.
