When the little girl gets a penguin suit from her aunt in Patagonia, she decides that she actually is a penguin, even though no one in her family agrees.  When Sunday night comes and her penguin suit needs to be washed, maybe it’s time for a change of character.

Parents with a child obsessed with a single costume will certainly relate to this.  I do love that the girl is willing to change at the end of the weekend – not always an easy thing to get them to change.  A silly offering.
