The Aldo Sharkhead

When we walk out at the MOA, we often pass a store called 'Aldo'. For some time they had this picture as part of their storefront. A simple bit of that modern 'who cares if it makes sense' approach to sales.
A few months back, on a whim, I asked Relia if we should get a shark head for momma. She was in favor but we didn't go in. We sometimes mentioned it again from time to time. Once I asked her if we should get one for daddy. "No," she said, "those are only for women". Which, given the picture, is fair enough.
The other day we walked past and as luck would have it, they've changed their art. She stopped and looked all forlorn. "Now momma can't get a shark head!"

I don't know how to reassure a girl with that problem.
