What is funny to adults is not always so appropriate to little ones.

Sure, and it's a hard world we live in. I'm not sure I go along with coddling the little ones. Having been raised on a farm and ranch, I always knew where dinner sometimes came from, and it is healthy, I think. I routinely eat Bamby, Thumper, Elsie, Cleghorn, Rocky and Bulwinkle

I am also not a fan of the "Political Correct" movement for this same reason. Changing the name of the garbage collector to Sanitation Engineer doesn't make his job of collecting other people's garbage any easier!

Just because it would be difficult on the parent to tell the fact to a little one, doesn’t mean that the parent should shirk his or her duties. Does belief in Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny really make a child’s life easier?

Shouldn’t we remember the real reason for Easter and Christmas?
