Well, I'm not going to be the one to tell a six-year-old that everyone isn't special. And honestly, I believe everyone IS, even if all they bring to the table of humanity is phenomenal kazoo-playing talent. Because, hey, I can't do that.
I think that "they" and "their" are becoming acceptable singular gender-neutral pronouns, in our evolving language. They're certainly more acceptable to me than such made-up abominations as "hir" and "sie."
