Shopping, online, with a friend that is decorating her infant grandson's new 'room'.....I noticed the preponderance of creatures, that would just make a meal of a baby, 'cartoonized' as lovingly cute 'friends'.....a talking, laughing shark; a T-Rex; a pack of 'cute' wild wolves; a lion-King; a cereal-selling Tony Tiger......So? The baby 'grows up' and is told, later, to fear all these Creatures......I did 'nix' the stork, in a top hat, carrying a diapered infant in its beak and a poster of a blue-eyed blond 'Jesus', seated on a jeweled throne, with half a dozen gratuitously Anglo-Saxon children (and one Asian, one Black and one Native American)......at his feet....."Pink would be a great color for the walls." I bemusedly commented........"NO!.....'it's going to be a BOY!", she replied......o.k......o.k....get the candy-eating reptile, then!
