Today we went to the beach, which was a nice way to spend the hot afternoon. Afterwards we went to Kilmer's house for burgers, and then we went out for ice cream. While we were waiting in line, Kilmer told us a story about seeing a stop sign that had been vandalized to say "Stop Gay Marriage."
"I mean, I think that gay marriage should be legal, and I think that it's really stupid to have vandalized a sign like that, but it was kind of funny," she said.
Behind us, a woman put her hands over her son's ears.
"Just go ahead and advertise how bigoted you are!" Kilmer continued, when the woman behind us interrupted.
"Excuse me, Ma'am, but could you not say things like that? I mean, my son will just start asking questions about what he hears." The woman's face was red.
"Oh, uhh, sure," said Kilmer. At that moment, our ice cream arrived. As we walked away, she turned to us and whispered, "what did I say? I didn't think I used any cuss words!"
We rolled our eyes. "It must have been the words 'gay marriage,'" Jube said.
"Oh man!" said Kilmer, "I thought it must have been the word 'bigot,' because then she'd have to explain to her kid exactly what his mommy is!"

How stupid! So raising your child is about completely shutting her/him up from the real world? What else? Shush, don't mention the war in Iraq - he might start asking questions. And I guess the kid is allowed to play ultra-violent video games or watch violent films?
