Mardi Gras Beads v. Necklace

When we were in New Orleans last year we acquired some Mardi Gras beads that we brought back with us. Lately the wife has been giving the beads to baby for him to play with, but she refers to them as his "necklace."

I have obvious issues with this situation. I consider myself a relatively manly man (especially now that I'm sporting a beard), and I'd like for my son to be the same. I thought that maybe if I explained to baby the significance of the beads (and what they can be exchanged for during Mardi Gras), it might rectify the situation - but wife isn't crazy about that idea. Can't imagine why.

So she'll continue to call them a necklace and I'll keep calling them the man beads.
