Josh "innocently" picked out a library book for Lola called "Alligator Sue." It's set in Louisiana, and it's the scariest piece of propaganda I've seen in some time. Sue is whirled away from her houseboat and finds herself in a gator nest, "nose to snout with a queen-size, prickly backed, saw-toothed mama Alligator." After a few moments, Sue faints. Here's where it gets pernicious.
"That mama Gator snuffled up to Sue. "Poor puny li'l thing," she crooned, tucking some Spanish moss over her. And with a crooked grin, she set to singing Sue an Alligator lullaby. . . . From that day on. Mama Coco adopted Sue as one of her own."
I tried to find evidence online that alligators eat their own young, but unfortunately, the Alligator-controlled media have made it a universal web-encyclopedia truism that alligators are protective parents.
(Note to strangers reading this blog: this is a joke--although alligators are indubitably very dangerous beasts.)--K
