My thought upon reading this sentence: Unless your Aang. And then I got to the end of the paragraph and was like 'hee!'

Grrr... You've seen my rant about it. I can't do it again.

And what's great about Katara is that she has a REASON for being the mother-figure -it's not because she's a girl. I love "The Runaway" for two reasons: it's basically a love song to Katara and how awesome she is, and it calls Toph on her shit and issues.

I don't think Katara's always in the right with Toph, either, but especially in that episode Toph is acting like a child and Katara was totally within her right to put her foot down.
