European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 30, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Odds amp end stake those Lippy to kids please legs off Erma b0mbeck Universal press Syndicate there was a time when a out of the Mouths of babes came messages of Wisdom and truth. On television this season children have the Mouths of stopped up sinks. If i see or hear one More family sitcom where a Small kid smarts off to an adult and gets by with it i May become a National spokesperson for Zero population growth. In a not suggesting kids done to talk Back to authority in real life. Its the laugh that bothers me. Somewhere along the line parents have become the straight men and children the stars. Surely adults with children could not be writing this dialogue. They have to be someone like my Uncle Wesley a Young Bachelor who saw a child twice a year and thought it hysterical to whisper lines in his ear that got him confined to his room until he emerged to an arranged marriage. When i was growing up i never got the zingers. For years i played second banana to my Mother the comedian. If i said a Why do i have to be your servant a she answered a because you re the Only one Small enough to fit in the  Baba Boom if i talked the Way to kids did she would have answered a you use that tone of voice with me again and you will lose your permanent Teeth a i never got the starring role or the lines until i had children of my own. Television Heads contend this is the language of the new generation this is How they really talk. Maybe it is. But television has a Chance to turn that around and instead of elevating brats to stardom it could deplore the language and instill respect and manners in Young people. The kids on a the Cosby show and a the wonder years have been criticized for being too wholesome too Goody Goody. Critics say these children Are still under the thumbs of their parents who Call All the shots. I will always remember a letter i received from a kid a few years ago after i published a Book called a family the ties that bind. And gag a he spent four pages detailing the horrors of his family. He had a Mother who drank a father who had split hours of loneliness frustration at never fitting in and the despair of not knowing where his life would take him. In the last paragraph he wrote a i really enjoyed your Book on family life. I did no to relate to a word of it but i liked knowing there was a family who laughed and had a Good time with each other. That a the kind of family i want when i get  maybe that a the role of television.  of May have finnish roots and not even be aware of it for the finns were among the earliest ethnic groups to help colonize America.
