ORIGINAL: batshalom ~fast reply~ If the world were populated by only adults, I'd think car balls were in relative poor taste but of not particular consequence. My problem with them, as a mother of two young ones, is that someone's big "freedom of expression" danglers are going to wind up in my kids' line of vision sooner or later. And what is the problem with that? Explain what it is, tack on why you think the owner did it, and all is well again. Or, my prefered way, tell the UM that you can only make a guess, so why not ask the owner of the balls? Because I don't care to have the discussion with them. They're six and eight. Call me crazy, but talking about someone else's testicles with them isn't exactly on my to-do list. You know, considering the world, and the conversations with my kidlings about the happenings in it, I truly believe that telling them that "Those are fake bull testicles. They put them on the truck because they think it is funny/they are idiots/whatever.", does not faze me much at all. In fact, that would be a rather amusing thing, compared to explaining war, murder, starving children and the like. But then, I do firmly believe in talking to my spawn, and that questions asked should be answered.
