Bah! Humbug!
UPDATE: ToysRUs is pulling a fast one here. There is a sale coming up this weekend: Vintage “On Sale” for $7.99 and CW and Legends “2 for $9.99” again. FAIL.

Katie is a first grade girl who has been teased for bringing her Star Wars water bottle into school because the boys in her class say Star Wars is only for boys. Since her mother posted the story on the web, people of all ages have read and commented to show support for the girl to like whatever she darn well pleases.
