This satire is intended to amuse, but the danger to our kids is not funny. Kids imitate what they hear on TV. Check out the impact on 3rd grader PT.

SCENE:  Picnic tables outside of school house.   Third-grader, PT, seated alone.  A young classmate, Gloria ,approaches .

GLORIA:  Hey, PT.   I’m glad I got you alone.  There’s something I need to tell you.

PT:   Are you flirting with me?

GLORIA:  Huh?  We’re in the third grade. How did you get that idea?

PT:   The guy on TV running for president  says all the women flirt with him, sometimes without even knowing they’re doing it.  I’m  running  for president  of our class, so you’re probably flirting.

GLORIA:  I’m not  even sure what flirting really means.

PT:   Girls  do it  by smiling. Boys do it by touching the behind of a girl.  I’ve seen the guy on TV do that .

GLORIA:   You stay away from me. I just came to tell you that Rosie says  you can’t be trusted.  I thought you should know.

PT:  Thanks, sweetie.  I’ll keep you in mind after I get elected.

SCENE:  PT turns  abruptly  and walks away,  leaving steely-eyed Gloria staring at his back.
