Margery,

I know how you feel.  When one of my boys was about four or five years old
we were in the grocery store, second to check out in a long line.  My sons
announces to me, "Those are Nestle candies, right mom?"  Proud momma noting
that he is recognizing printed words says "Yes, they are."  Son says, "We
don't buy Nestle, right mom?"  Mom prouder yet says, "That's right son."
Then son announces very loudly, "That's because Nestle kills babies, right
mom?"  Mother wants to shink right int floor as all around give dirty looks
and the cashier seems very puzzled.
