The wal-mart haloween display gave her kids nightmares

[iradney]

Hmmm
oldest is four, youngest is nearly 2. Now, granted, at 2 you can't quite differentiate pretend from real. But at 4?? Hell, I watched pinocchio round about that age, and I didn't believe there were kids made of wood. There were some spacey type toys on display in a store that my mom took me to - I didn't then believe that aliens were among us.
No, this woman just doesn't want to tell her kids the difference between reality and fantasy because then they'll ask if Santa still exists, and such like. And because it involves effort on her part.
I mean, REALLY now. Is she gonna blind fold them on Halloween so they don't see the "ghosts" and "pirates" and "mummies"???

Can I complain that the stupid parent is giving me nightmares and she needs to be put in a back aisle somewhere?

"At this age, you cannot explain that this is a toy, that's not real," Whitney said.

Um, yes you can. In fact, at their ages, they are more accepting of things like this so it's nice to know your children are going to grow up not exposed to this so they devolop an unhealthy phobia when they grow older.

This "parent" is mad at wal-mart for having a Halloween decoration that gave her kids night mares. She says she couldn't tell her kids the difference between a person and a piece of plastic.
