My basic stance is that I'm opposed to all forms of censorship. That said, thanks for reading this story so that I don't have to!

I definitely felt like I took one for the team here. 😂

I got one more laugh out of it than you did, and it was when Rebecca expressed what she would do in order to have a squirrel pie. Just the wording and the enthusiasm of her statement caught me off-guard and forced a laugh out of me. The story overall just struck me as an extended version of that old showbiz trope, the Aristocrats joke. What do you call a family like that? The Aristocrats!

I wasn't familiar with the Aristocrats joke, but I looked it up and was glad I did. That would've put that reading experience in a completely different light! 😂

@@Scare-o-lyn For a while after the 9/11 attacks, no one was ready to laugh. But there was a Friars Club Roast scheduled, and comedians kind of awkwardly started broaching the topic, to muted response. Then Gilbert Gottfried came onstage. He avoided the topic entirely by performing a particularly filthy and outrageous version of the Aristocrats joke (almost as bad as Baby in a Blender) and the crowd was in tears from laughing. It was like shock therapy or an exorcism, and then it was okay to laugh again.
