I will say however, that not knowing anything about guns he really freaked out at school over kids playing with imaginary toy guns and had no idea about the concept (and no, they are not allowed, but boys do these things and if one starts, even the kid from the most liberal family in town is going to join in). So I think it was probably a mistake to not tell him anything about guns at all. Despite having been in the military myself, we don’t let our son play with toy guns.

Guess what other word is programmed in there? WAR. I could have spit up my coffee as I was listening to her play with it this morning. Yes, I had to have an exhaustive conversation about WAR with her at 8am. I am not pleased. I had no idea about GUN. Who is programming this thing? Other than the whole programming issue I agree this is a great toy...but gees. I just bought this toy for my 4 year old this week. Guess what other word is programmed in there? WAR.

When M starts visiting friends' houses you may not always know who owns guns and who doesn't, and it'd be good for her to know what they are and how dangerous they are. We'll never have guns in our house, but I definitely want our future child(ren) to be prepared if they come across them somewhere else.
