So, today you’re a lady but tomorrow a fish?… hmmm… my watch says 11:30 pm… it’ll have to be a very quick date, Mam. Unless of course a lady to a fish is a mermaid…. Fancy a swim?

I have seen not only the attention span but imagination a rarity in children of late.I read children should not be exposed to tv before two as the rapidly changing visual does something to the brains wiring.How many are plopped in front of a t.v. Or computor screen soon as they can sit up.Pathetic.Children are born for reasons having nothing to do with loving or nurturing them.Enjoyed Gershon.

imagination is magic, I love to look and listen to children playing especially if they are alone. Today is Monday and I am sweet sixteen again when families seemed to be more united than they are today, and children had toys bought for them at Christmas and birthdays, without feeling deprived of anything by amusing themselves and having fun.

Right you are. Imagination is magic --- NOT meant to be the basis on which to perform 'gender transition!'

Lol witty and humorous Gershon. I guess you can be whom ever you want in this day in age. Look at the man who became a dog and lives in a cage in Jpan, I hope he is potty trained lol...
