jmsloop has a sad tale over at Xark!

Last weekend, my Bonnie and I were playing Taboo with another couple and their nine year old son. …When I drew the word “Steroids,” I immediately said, “Barry Bonds.” Within a half second, both Trey and his son shouted their first guesses. Trey was wrong with his guess of “home runs.” But his nine year old son, who will be thinking about Barry Bonds long after Trey and I are put out to pasture . . . well. . . he guessed the word correctly.

I don’t even like baseball and that story still makes me sad. I don’t know if I’m sadder about the state of affairs in professional sports or the fact that little kids are both jaded and facing a shortage of decent role models.
