Heh heh... I take all your points on board Irene. I would of course agree
with you if they applied to the Velvet chap, but... well, his stuff isn't
like that at all. In my opinion, it makes the kids look foolish, not the
parents. I can't explain it any more than that - all I can say is, try and
track down the tracks and see what I mean. Of course, I'm not trying to make
you LIKE the stuff, I just think the 'message' is the reverse of that which
you're suggesting.
Besides, I'm going to be a moronic parent really rather soon, so I think
we're probably sharing a similar outlook really ;-)
