Every fourth thing out of my three-year-olds mouth is, "Why did Wal-Mart come to town?"  It is driving me CrAzY!

We always got ooky feelings abandoning the hard-working, honest folks who devoted their lives to excellence in their shoppes and going instead to a store the size of small town, buying plastic stuff that seemed unnaturally inexpensive. But we did not boycott Wal-Mart until my little brother got a job there.  He became intimately aware of how every level of WalMart, from the big big corporate family to the little bitty Greeters at the door, must be unethical in order for WalMart to exist.  A little bit of research into how typical or widespread the practices at my brothers Walmart were, convinced me to never step foot on a WalMart parking lot again.  (Did you know WalMart parking lots are statistically more dangerous than any other corporation's lots, and that this is a direct result of WalMart's messed up security policy?  A policy determined in order to make them money . . . I can go on and on . . . )

Anyway, we went to see the WalMart movie when it came out, of course.  We also downloaded this song and occasionally would put it into rotation on the MP3 player.   The kids are pretty good about not repeating curse words so I didn't mind the inclusion of one.  But the three-year-old -- I don't know why! -- he LOVES the song.  He sings it over and over.  It's insane. 

Since the kids liked the song so much, I took the time to go through the lyrics with them and explain what it all refers to.   Since then, the three-year-old wants me to repeat the info ALL THE TIME.   I am going crazy . . . crazy . . .
