MrsM... i suppose i take it personally for these reasons:

a harmless "blonde joke" between friends is just that, harmless..

but in the other room, at the library, at school, are the children who did not understand the context of the humor.. there, the humor becomes a weapon...

next thing i know, it my neighbors kids who come home all torn up because of ignorant selfish and childish behaviour... which, unfortunately, does not exist only in the under 12 years old world...
