Okay, so, lemme get this straight (so to speak)...

Girls can wear pants all the time without becoming lesbians, but it's not okay to allow boys to wear a skirt, ever, because they won't understand the concept of "special occasion" and might grow up to become one of those hoomoos and, I don't know, beat up on straight kids. It is, however, okay to encourage your young kids to dress up in camoflauge like soldiers, because it's all right if they kill people, so long as they aren't gay.

Got it, thanks.

... If kids didn't understand the concept of "special occasion," they'd be demanding birthday and Christmas presents every day.

I should note that I'm not surprised at this. Rolling my eyes at the stupidity of it, yes, but I've long since stopped being surprised by people like her. Urgh.

Exactly.

I remember reading once about a woman who, because she didn't have any cereal, ONE TIME gave her kids leftover pizza for breakfast.

All day she had to deal with calls from people whose business it most emphatically was NOT telling her that she shouldn't do that.

Because, of course, feeding children pizza before dinnertime will kill them. </sarcasm>

And again we have the rolling of the eyes. I hope this mother was the kind who could tell her callers to mind their own business.

After the first few, yes. Pizza is a lot healthier than most of the sugar filled crap kids get for breakfast.

No, it will make them gay. Then they will be beat upon by the older children in camouflage that had the last of the cereal for breakfast.

I'd roll my eyes at all of this too, but it makes my head hurt worse than it already does.

randompenguin would it be okay if I friended you? I took a peek at your recent entries, and your pretty cool.

I must have been confused for a minute there. Now that we know what makes kids gay, we can send out the advisory to the world. No parent will ever have to suffer the shock of their child's coming out again!

Oh. Um. Hmm. I'm done now. If my recent entries haven't made you wonder what kind of lunatic I am, feel free to add me. I've done the same.

leftover pizza is actually one of the better breakfasts for kids...nutritionally correct, and they love it.
