For all the bs in the world that ticks us off, yes if you are reading this I'm including you, even if you're not for that matter, those things that just grind our gears and make the blood pressure shoot up, there is one of these that makes you feel like there is hope (A New Hope?

) out there.

Quote:

When Tom Burns’ daughter asked him, “Do you think I could be Han Solo for Halloween?” his answer was, “Yeah, why, of course, you could. That would be amazing. Why couldn’t you be Han Solo?” Her tentative response: “Well…. I’m a girl.” To prove to his daughter that dressing up as a great character has nothing to do with whether you’re a girl or a boy, this Mighty Dad decided to dress up with her -- as Princess Leia!

After his daughter expressed her concern about dressing up as Han Solo as a girl, Burns showed her photos of female cosplayers dressed as the popular Star Wars character. After that, his daughter was set on the costume and, since she and her father often dress in themed costumes for Halloween, she said to him: “Well, if I’m a Han Solo, you should probably be Princess Leia, I guess…”

“She looked at me with an implied question in her eyes,” writes Burns, “And, c’mon, if I immediately told her 'YES, a girl can be Han Solo,' it would’ve been pretty hypocritical of me to say 'Nope, a boy can’t be Princess Leia.' So, as quickly as I could, I said, 'That would be FANTASTIC. I totally should be Leia.' And that’s exactly what I did. Because that’s what dads do."
