      7 yo: This is a drawing of what my mind looks like when I'm confused. Me: Is that thing a plant? 7 yo: That's weed. Me: Why did you put a weed in the picture? 7 yo: Not *a* weed. Weed.

      How, you ask, does my 7 yo know about weed? A parody of a children's TV series that he found on Youtube. I have never seen him laugh harder.

      Now that I think about it, I can see why it's the funniest thing he's seen. Children's shows are so correct (not just politically correct, but about 25 other kinds of correct as well) that they leave a huge gap between them and reality. Which = potential energy for parodies.

          All the Batman cartoons are suprisingly self-deprecating. Hilarious, even as an adult. 3yo loves them.

          There is a fact that adults are producing the kids shows.

          An excellent politically incorrect book for children 10+ is "Tales for naughty children" (written in 1948) by Jacques Prévert. I know it from a Czech translation, but, unfortunately, I am not sure if there is an English translation. It was formative for me.

          I actually meant generally ""incorrect"", not "politically incorrect". The book is deeply humane in part thanks to that "incorrectness".
