Clicky poll: Help settle an argument :) edit - now including photographic evidence!

userdeleted

We have a massive purple bear in our living room that DH had as a child, and which DS now loves to play with. The bear is named "Crayola." I say Crayola is a girl - I mean her name ends in "la." Also, she is purple, which I'm pretty sure is a "girl color." DH says that Crayola is a boy, but he has no facts to back him up.

What do you think. And yes, this is very very important

I'm gonna need to see a pip of said bear to see what the face looks like.

I was going to ask the same thing!

Here you go:

Tell me that bear is not a girl!!

edit: Well just to be fair, I'll admit here now that this photo was doctored. I know it's excellent work, but yes, I did use paint to add the bow and the eyelashes

(it was a lot more obvious when the picture was bigger on my computer)

your DH knew the bear first and assigned him a gender.  I am sorry to say that I think your DH gets to make the call on Crayola's sex.  

ETA: well wait - is that a permanent pink bow or was it just placed there to help urge us in the "right" direction?

Ditto the pip request. I need to see in order to vote.

Are those long eyelashes? If so, I say definitely a girl!

Did you put the pink bow there to sway our opinion?

The paint program may or may not have been involved with the bow.

It is not "technically" there, in the sense of being real. But it's in her heart.

I say unless Crayola has a penis, she's a girl.

Tess12

That bear is such a girl.

Amrice78

totally girl

Okay DH says I have to put the real picture up, hahahahaha. Apparently I am not doing Crayola justice. So in the interest of family peace:

edit: I have been instructed to add that Crayola usually wears a purple shirt that says "Crayola" on it, in black. The shirt is in the wash, so that is not more sabotage - just the bow and the eyelashes, lol. 

Tess12

Still a girl.

Lucky_Dragonfly

with eyelashes like that def a GIRL!!!

I don't know.  I think that all stuffed bears are boys, just like all cars are girls.

bahahahahaha  I did this hugely attractive snickersnort when I saw the "painted" on bow and eyelashes.  For about half a second, I thought you had taken some pink yarn and tied on a bow, then I realized it was "cgi-ed" (I'm using this term very loosely. . .errrrr, I mean, you should work for Pixar!!!!  ).

Thank you!!! I am am totally self-taught, I know it's hard to believe

Seeing how my son's room is purple (PIP below), I say it's a neutral color. And the original owner of anything gets to determine gender, so your DH wins.

susanmosley

In my heart, I believe that Crayola is a boy.

o2bme

Girl!!!

inbetweendreams

I feel tricked. I totally thought those eyelashes were real and couldn't figure out why there was even a question about Crayola's gender!

Sorry, but now my gut says boy. A big purple boy.

CrazeyJaneyR

te bow makes it a girl.h

TSanchezzzz

It's totally a girl. I used to have one of those in BLUE and that one was definitely a boy.

Janimal

That bear is a hermaphrodite!

 

fIowerchild

I have no idea on Crayola's gender, but this thread be funneh!

lpennie16

I see a pink bow and long eyelashes = girl

PhilsWife07

Okay, I voted before I saw the pic. That's definitely a girl.

That is the girliest bear EVER! Tell your H, you win!

wareto

I say neither. Yeah, Crayola's purple and ands in La, but if your DH had Crayola as a kid and says Crayola is a boy, then I guess that would make Crayola a boy-since he has been for 20 years, of course DH could have gotten it wrong-Crayola does look kinda femme. I voted "neither".

Notice the lack of pronouns
