Now I'm angry
Weird how things hit you out of the blue once you have a kid.

For example, my wife just this second, informed me that in 1987, "they" removed Mr. Potatohead's pipe from his mouth.

They removed Mr. Potato Head's pipe from his mouth.

WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY DO THIS?

I'm really anti-smoking. Gabe has never even seen anyone smoke and I would never want to glamorize the filthy habit--but for god's sake, can't just one really bad thing, fondly remembered from my childhood, survive into my own son's childhood?

(I'll admit it--I'm a freakish throwback. For me, why be a child if you can't chuck a lawn dart or two at your friends on a regular basis?)
