Anyone here speak Spanish? How do you say “Can you people just butt out and let me raise my child as I see fit without writing a bunch of idiotic nanny state regulations intended to regulate every last aspect of our lives?”
We ran across the latest in nanny state nuttiness on Yahoo.com:
Pinatas: A bad idea for your child’s party?
Piñatas are not a good idea for your child’s party. Children should never hit anything with a stick. Even worse, kids can get piñatas in their favorite character too. Doesn’t anyone slightly cringe at the thought of their child whacking Dora the Explorer or Elmo around with a baseball bat? What is that doing for a child’s character? Getting a flower or car piñata is only slightly less worse.
The article was written by Vanessa Bartlemus, whose bio indicates that she has degrees in Journalism and Psychology.
Either one of which makes us want to whack her with a stick.
