You have my deepest sympathies. Those things can be so nasty & it especially infuriates me when they involve little kids.

Thanks. This was many years ago, when I was more left-leaning in my views. Even then though I found the idea of a parade narcissistic. And a friend of mine used to take her kids to the parade! 😟 It was a hip, happening neighborhood, but I'd definitely feel out of place there these days.
