Fast forward to Augusta's 5th birthday:
Augusta: "Daddy, I want some cake for my birthday"
Agent: "Sweetheart, cake has icing, and icing is made of all sugar. Sugar is empty calories and will make you fat. When you're fat, no one will like you, you will get diabetes, and you will be a waste to society. Here, have a cucumber."
Augusta: "Can I have a doll for my birthday"
Agent: No, I'm sorry kiddo. Those toys were made in China. Not only are they probably made with lead paint, but they were produced by child workers in a slave factory. Here, I found a stick in the yard, have fun with it".
Hippo: "Not only that, but dolls like Barbie provide a false sense of womanhood. We don't want you to grow up an anorexic cheerleader with fake tits who sleeps with man-whores like Ken. Why don't I make you a sock doll".
Augusta: Dad, do you like this picture I colored in for you?
Agent: Well, it's pretty, but I thought we discussed this already. There's no coloring anything in that has lines. Lines are restricting, they will impinge on your ability to use your own imagination. From now on, blank paper only".
Augusta: "Mom, can I get those furry snow boots for winter time here in colorado so I can play in the snow?"
HH: "I'm sorry Augusta, we can't get them. Even though they are made of fake fur, it will remind us too much of the poor animals who were bludgeoned to death with a club for their fur. I made you some snow shoes from hemp today."
Now that's how childhood should be!
