Daughter arrived and we all went out for breakfast. Me, my husband, her, and our toddler grandson. It was a much needed break, and during that time we discussed exactly that trigger. She was as horrified as I was, winced when I described the illustration of the child, and pointed out that there is a trend with humor these days. "Let's find something that is horrific, sick, shocking, and blatantly wrong, and praise it up like it's a good thing."

I remember in the 70's insult humor was all the rage. How many times did we hear some variant of "Up your nose with a rubber hose"? Then in the 80's, the fashion was smart-aleck kids. "Diff'rent Strokes," "Calvin and Hobbes," and the like. I guess this is the way humor is right now. I hope the trend fades away. Fast. And never comes back.
