When I was a kid, my Mom would take my brother and I to the beauty shop when she got her hair done. They had toys to play with, and the ladies there all fawned over the kids and gave them candy, etc.
It's a different world now; I'm not sure I like it so much.
Me neither. The one person a child should be able to trust wholeheartedly is the very one betraying that holy trust.
I grew up in the fifties. I really in all honesty hate the country the US now is. I see very little worth defending.
