[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your question reminds me of the honest and awesome mom I met at our super crunchy Berkeley co-op preschool who said that she tried her best to outlaw all gun play and then one day noticed her kid nibbling his HUMMUS SANDWICH into the shape of a gun.
I'm super opposed to guns a s a policy issue, I would like to live in a country where they don't exist.  But overregulating your kids play doesn't keep him or any of us safer, they just let you think and hope that maybe you are somehow helping our country out of its crazy relationship with firearms.  You aren't.  Kids and boys in particular have been playing with weapon toys since forever and I truly don't know any in my kids' teenage cohorts that appear to have an ongoing interest in them. Focus on what matters and try to let this one go, I know it's hard, it feels symbolic, but it really is okay.[/quote]

Thanks for this. I am really trying here. My DS sounds like this hummus muncher. These posts are getting me there faster.
