<p>The Boy is still not feeling 100%, which means  that I am stuck at home.  This is is not good as my mind is then free to go down random paths.  For example, here is one of The Boy&#39;s favorite toys:</p>

<p>As The Boy and I played I wondered if it was necessary for Jack, the Little People Mechanic, to have both a mullet AND a mustache.  </p>

<p>I can&#39;t decide if the mechanic with the mullet and creepy mustache is an archetype or a stereotype.  I admit that my mental image of a mechanic does include that unfortunate &quot;hairstyle&quot; and, yes, some sort of facial hair.  Are stereotypes born out of archetypes?  I don&#39;t know.  But I know that this is what comes up when you Google &quot;mechanic&quot;:  </p>

<p>Wow.  The resemblance is uncanny.  Maybe Fisher Price did their research after all.  They Googled it.</p>
