If you are the person who told our Nibblet that she can't be a train engineer because she is a girl, we'd appreciate it if you'd keep your narrow-minded, gender biased, antiquated, inaccurate opinions to yourself. A quick trip to the computer and a google later she has been reassured that not only can a girl drive a train but they have been doing so for well over 100 years. Hooray for Miss Ida Hewitt, the first female train engineer, who ran a locomotive on the Cairo branch line in West Virginia - a narrow gauge connection of the Baltimore and Ohio lines in the late 1800s. Miss Mary Clare's fondest desire is to drive her beloved Tweetsie :-)
On a lighter note, the girls decided that Doug the Dragon - guardian of the Guangdong empresses, slayer of bad dreams, brave defender of the Imperial Bedroom-needed a makeover. Thanks to watching way too much "Are You Being Served" with their Baba, our house is now host to South Carolina's only cross-dressing dragon. Poor Doug- it's hard to run off those bad dreams in heels.
