How early is too early to teach kids about batshit crazy strangers? Wife was putting the smaller kid in the car yesterday outside Starbucks, and turned around to see a batshit crazy stranger -- y'know, the sort of person with mental problems which are obvious to the untrained and which would have resulted in her institutionalization until the reformers started to get their way in the late 80s -- talking and gesticulating wildly

By the way, you might consider steering clear of that Starbucks if Fringey's hanging out in front on a regular basis.

Once the need for an explanation is inevitable, I prefer not to put it off - otherwise, they are trying to make sense of a world that doesn't make sense, because they are missing key information, and I think that is more frightening to them. Far better that instead that the little guy understand, "OK, now I know what a Republican looks like."

Republican? Damn, G3, I've never degraded you. Why the escalation?
