two things to warm your heart as the weekend sets in.

     1. press play on the "listen to the story" player to get the full, heartwarming effect.


            note: One thing that I learned from Lacey during her dissertation work is that the   
           field of developmental psychology has generally asserted that children raised by 
           gay and lesbian parents are pretty much the same as children raised by 
           heterosexual parents. One of the only places it seems like there *might* be a 
           reliable difference is that children of same-sex parents are slightly less rigid in their 
           ideas about gender (e.g., stereotypes and roles). So - although we know that 
           research isn't meant to describe every individual situation - listen carefully when 
           this father asks his son if he would prefer to be described as "beautiful" or 
          "handsome."

     2. pure loveliness.
