I would not expect anyone reading them to beleive the whole wizard/hogw ...[text shortened]... und the universe in the enterprise (apologies to any trekkies if this comes as a bit of a blow)

See how easy it is to for what you're trying to say get garbled between your brain and your keyboard.

I what I meant was I could only image how you'd react to discover I had taken my children to see a production of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Great. That's a Great Play. You said it was a High School Production?

Are some of your children in that High School? Or was this just something you went to.

I saw that live once, i think in toronto.

Obviously, I've watched the movie with Gregory Peck a number of times. I think I even watched it with my daughter once.

It is wonderful you're exposing your children to the modern classics!

They were (and still are) fairly young. Maybe 6 and 8 at the time. And they asked ALOT of questions. One of those questions was "mom, what's a nigger?"

I'm sure you handled those questions well!

We went to our in-laws and they watch the Fox News Channel constantly. On the drive home, my Daughter who was 9 at the time asked me why the dirty Mexicans were trying to sneak into our country.

Just part of trying to be a good parent, right?


The only question that I might have for you is why you think this would upset me in any way?
