Yang: Tin has a girlfriend at school and she loves My Little Pony<\/em> and turned him onto it. He had to come to grips with the fact that other boys at school said this was the hallmark of girldom. He had to reconcile his love for the androgynous Rainbow Dash and effervescent Twilight Sparkle. And truth to tell, he has done a good job except for occasionally wanting me to keep the fact that he watches the ponies as a secret between us. <\/p>\n

Yin: Tin loves a villain. Mostly any villain will do, but right now his favorite is Two Face from the Batman series. He can look like Two Face at the drop of a dime having memorized his every gesture. He can ask the coin<\/em> and flip it on command. He was Two Face for Mardi Gras. He was Two Face for Purim. He wanted a Two Face cake for his birthday.<\/p>\n

He doesn’t even realize that Two Face’s duality is his own. <\/p>\n

So what do you give a boy turning six who embodies both Yin and Yang? A pony party with a Batman cake is what.<\/em> And how do you know if the party was successful? It all ends in tears. Tonight, Tin wept and sobbed and howled for Black Pony, the pony who nudged and licked him in the stable. The one he wants to go live with. The one he is sure misses him so much right now she can’t sleep and she’s lonely and he needs to be with her. Oh, how come he didn’t know about Black Pony before and can he please, please have his 7th birthday party with her so they can spend more time together. <\/p>\n

This after arriving at the farm and deciding to act out his worst behavior, including at first snubbing his girlfriend and the unbelievable drawing of him as Two Face that his friend’s father drew for him. <\/p>\n
