Our society has gone all to hell with all this politically correct and touchy-feely nonsense. Very sad. We're going to leave our children and grand children one hell of a mess to try to fix. LOL |

There was Mr. Potato Head. There was Mrs. Potato Head. As a young kid I even had a Mr. Potato Head box which included a carrot head and a green bell pepper head. Not kidding! You put eyes and ears and lips and arms and legs (choice of shoes!) and stuff on them to create fun characters. It's a toy, fer cryin out loud. It's not about gender issues. I could have put red lips and high heels on Mr. Potato Head and no one would have cared. We were kids. The point is playing. My 2 cents. Jill |

Of course I had to google it. Son of a gun. It just happened. Now it is just Potato Head and you can dress him up any way you want. Even Barbie has gone diverse. I guess that explains the Pregnant Barbie. https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/25/busin...ral/index.html |
