THAT is sexual, surely.
SNOWBALL
I made myself a snowball
As perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first - it wet the bed.
And what kind of thing is this, that he said?
"Instead of tug o' war, let's play hug o' war."
Sex and pacifism. He's a perverted peacenik.
He wrote "Queen of the Silver Dollar," which was recorded by various people
(Emmylou Harris notably), and it's about a bar. It's a country and western
song, which might give him points with Baptists, but it's about a bar, which
is sinful.

I think he wrote A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash's song. I'm running out
the door - somebody google it.

Actually our church homeschooling group is doing the art for the
walls of the new parish school - as part of a parish commitment
to making sure that each option is equally honored. Our 6 y.o.
happily put a unicorn outside of the ark in her Noah picture.
Our pastor looking at the picture said "and, sure as you're, born
you ain't gonna see no unicorn..."

I was at Costco last October when a young boy asked his mom to buy him a
unicorn costume. She said no, because only girls are unicorns. I said
maybe that is why the unicorns died out, because they were all female. She
wasn't amused.
I hate it when people tell kids they can't do something because they are a
boy or because they are a girl.

A couple of nights ago, after this discussion started, I was reading to Holly
from Falling Up, Marty's very favorite Shel Silverstein book, and though she
liked the ones which were just purely tight poetry, which would sound good
even if you didn't understand English, she started to be uncomfortable with
some of the meanness. She said "He's not very nice sometimes."
And I saw her point, and read other stuff that night.
I told Marty and he was aghast that Holly wouldn't LOVE Shel Silverstein. So
I'm planning to get Marty some Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show CDs with songs
by Shel Silverstein. He'll be very happy. He loves stuff like South Park
music, Beavis and Butt-head parody stuff, and he isn't aware how much Shel
Silverstein there is.
