Im a bit miffed, Im not gonna lie. Not for myself mind you, but for a little four-year-old boy who has the distinct misfortune of residing with a mom who fears guns. Allow me to explain; in this mornings Washington Post On Parenting theres a piece by Zsofia McMullen. The title of the piece is: My four year old loves toy guns and I dont know how to parent that. In it, she describes in great detail, her sons infatuation with gun play and pretend violence.
