Male Paper Person Present

This morning, Daniel spontaneously made me a very nice little crafts project - a man made from strips of red paper bound together with tape, with very long arms and legs. I asked him what it was (just to get the Official Word), and he said, "A human being," and went on to tell me that I could name it whatever I wanted. Somehow, I wasn't convinced that the parameters of his imagination-license were quite as open-ended as they sounded, so, just to be sure, I asked him, "Is it a girl or a boy?"

"A boy."
