I was at a social gathering recently where one of the mothers claimed her children were allergic to peanuts. I had seen two of the three kids eat a handful of peanuts. They ran around normally all night. My conclusion was that the mother with the three allergic kids is trying to impose her will on everyone else...or maybe she only has one allergic kid and is completely innumerate.

Future nanny state ping, I am sure.

These peanut nazis are everywhere now. Ive attended 2 lectures at my sons private church school where they let the one parent lecture us and about their kids allergy. They thanked us in advance for our understanding that we could no longer give our kids, pbnjelly sandwiches, no processed bag foods, cracker, chips etc, as they are made with peanut additives etc. Then I learned only 20 people die a year from the allergy..BUT..it only affects fully developed adults..NOT..children. We are sooo soft.

My peanut moonbat story....
The entire 5th grade class from our private Christian school was leaving for a two day mountain trip. As we gathered prior to departure in the parking lot, moonbat mom insists that every snack bag be checked for the dreaded peanut products, even the ones not riding in her child's car.

All the kids give up their poison products, which seemed OK as moonbat was giving all the kids replacement nutrition bars to ease the loss. So as I'm peeling the wrapper on these bars, the ingredient list catches my eye. Lo and behold the 4th or 5th item listed in the bars is PEANUT OIL.

Moonbat was very happy with herself for solving the problem, at least in her eyes.

I had a MIL like this..... spastic about everything. It was basically a way of attracting attention to herself. In her later years (and many “dramas” later) I took her to a shrink. She was diagnosed as bipolar and put on Luvox. After a couple days of medication...... we had our first “lucid” conversation in 30 years. What a waste of her life....... and unnecessary frustration for those around her.
