No more blonde jokes in my house
Do your kids tell "blonde" jokes?
I put my foot down yesterday when my 11-year-old tried to give a "Blonde Test" to a blonde eight-year-old in our carpool.
These tests attempt to embarrass the test-taker by showing they are unable to figure out some kind of riddle. My kids have also told blonde jokes, which have the same theme about blondes' alleged lack of intelligence.
Are these jokes considered acceptable now? To me they are just as bad as telling racial or religious or homosexual jokes.
I explained to my daughter how such jokes are inappropriate and she totally did not get it. But I hope she will at least stop telling them.
