This is my nephew, Yuan Yuan. He's five years old, super adorable. I asked him the other day, "What would you like for your birthday this year?" He said, "I want to have a one-way mirror Spider-Man mask." I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about, so I said, "Wow, that's really cool, but how are you going to get it?"
