I'd rather be lame.
I started this as an open letter to the brat in the new Toyota Highlander commercials. You know, the kid who tells us that just because we're parents we don't have to be lame. Every time I hear him say that I fight the urge to put my size 12 Red Wings through the TV.
To paraphrase Charles Sykes from his book "Dumbing Down Our Kids":
Before you were born your parents weren't as lame as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes, and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you lecture them on the lameness of their car, try getting around on your own for a while.
Sheesh. And get a hair cut while you're at it.
