Walkie-Talkie Teaches 3-Year-Old About Drugs and Sex

Deborah Pancaro's three-year-old son recently heard some weird stuff on his toy walkie-talkie. First he heard some guys saying "10-4." Then he picked up some chatter about marijuana and plans to visit a strip club.

“They said we should go smoke some weed, and were talking about being in a strip bar, some really explicit things,” Pancaro told the Associated Press.

Turns out the Diego walkie-talkie the West Virginia mom bought at Wal-Mart was intercepting -- you guessed it -- truckers talking via CB radio. (Either that, or it was picking up dialogue from "Pineapple Express.") Pancaro sent a letter to Fisher-Price, manufacturer of the product, asking them to either recall it or fix the toy so it won't be so sensitive to interference. A spokeswoman for Fisher-Price says the company has tried to call Pancaro twice to no avail. Meanwhile, the Wal-Mart Web site says the walkie-talkie has been discontinued. No word on whether the boy has developed a sudden interesting in visiting a place called The Bada Bing.

Neither Diego nor his cousin, Dora the Explorer, had any comment on the matter. When approached by a reporter, Baby Jaguar said he didn't have time to talk because he was really busy trying to score some weed.

When I was a kid, my older brother and I rode every morning with our mom in the anient turquoise Chevy Nova to the school where she taught and we purportedly learned (yes, I had my mom as a teacher one year, and yes, I was scarred for life by that experience, but we won't talk about that now, but if you utter the words "teacher's pet" I will bite you). The drive involved a stretch of northern California highway where it was our pleasure to pass the time by counting VW bugs and convincing truck drivers to honk their horns for a couple of kids who never lost their sense of wonder that they could be seen through the windows of said Chevy Nova. I think you know what I'm talking about. You haven't forgotten about this, have you? Do your kids do this:
