Now the child is giggling in his sleep. It's 4:38. I may try to sleep some more. Thanks for the company. Woops, DragonballZ is when the guy from Dragonball grows up.

Brilliant. Agree to disagree. It's ok for people to think different things. Hooray, indeed. I had the same unfounded, possibly unfair reaction to Pokemon (and Power Rangers) when Sam was the age they were the rage. Thankfully, we managed to steer clear of them but now he is absorbed reading Manga (along with my loving husband). At least it is reading, which was a challenge but Naruto, Dragonball, Dragonball and Hunter x Hunter don't seem to be far from Pokemon and I hear they even have a channel on the Cartoon Network. Maybe Manga is something yours will also enjoy down the road? I love it. Brilliant. Agree to disagree. It’s ok for people to think different things. Hooray, indeed.

If he can get a good handle on this idea that other people can think differently from him and still be good people, he'll be ahead of a lot of the grown-ups in this world. Good for him!

Great cognitive leaps, indeed. And I agree with Kristen that you should at least ask the teacher about the comment and the context in which it may have been made.

Oooo people that have the slip of tongue irk me ... but sadly we cannot keep the kids in a bubble. For instance, Becca has no clue that milk can in theory come in other flavours such as chocolate and strawberry. I figure we will get there so let's save it ... well every which way we turn someone wants to expand her limited knowledge of milk...and do not get me started on what meat is .... she CANNOT find out that it comes from animals! Totally brilliant!

I have no idea what I would have said in your place. I feel a little out of my depth, commenting on your blog, but I wanted to say that you’re so patient and do such a good job of explain.

I also question why his teacher (who certainly knows your son well enough to know better) would make such a broad statement. The bad news, I'm afraid, is that at least in this house, Thomas the Tank Engine is followed by Pokemon is followed by Yugio is followed by grumpy fourteen year old boy with hormones galore coursing through his veins at every moment of the day. Makes Thomas and Pokemon look pretty good. You were wonderful–I agree with everyone else.

Does that mean I'll be able to ward off Pokemon with my light saber? God I hope so. Star wars here too. Does that mean I’ll be able to ward off Pokemon with my light saber? God I hope so.

Don't you love these moments? No pokeman here, but starwars comes and goes with the standards of transportation and construction. I'll rememember tonight when I watch the "John Deer Part 3 for kids" (which is what Bubba calls it) for the 100th time after he does his homework that at least I am not watching Pokemon...that stuff gives me a headache! But what I've also found worst of all is when I have no reinforcer... Lord help me. Thank goodness for the library and all of the boring train/tractor/construction movies that someone took the time to film. wow! Don’t you love these moments?
