Entry for February 27, 2009

I just joined a Facebook group about children's BBC presenter Cerrie Burnell, who was born with a partial arm and is getting bizarre complaints from viewers. I don't think she's such an amazing presenter, but she shouldn't have to deal with this. What people should be complaining about is the crazy spelling of her name, which is pronounced "Kerry"!

In a related story, I told my kids that "daddy thinks that girls with no arms are pretty". They seemed to think that was reasonable. What I really need is a children's book in which this is a significant plot element, but that's probably going to be wishful thinking for a while :)
