Seriously!!! And her investment in it is completely arbitrary. I mean, Chas has a short haircut, wears almost exclusively "boy" clothes, plays almost exclusively with "boy" stuff, and is seen by everyone who doesn't know better (and by some who do) as a boy. So why randomly insist that no, she can't wear one particular thing, or has to wear a certain thing (such as a barrette) -- or the very worst day, when she insisted that if Chas wanted to go to a waterpark with the boys and girls club, she had to wear a two-sizes-too-small girl's two-piece bathing suit instead of her normal board shorts and rash guard?!? Then again, the ex is seriously fucked up in many different ways - which is why she's my ex (and should have been LONG ago). But I digress....
