::head:desk:: Oh good grief!! I've taken my children into Spencer's when I've been looking for something in particular. When we got to the 'adult' section if one of them said something I said, "These are grown-up toys. They're things that only grown-ups play with. When you are a grown-up, you might or might not be interested in them."
Period. End of story. They lost interest and went to go look at the fart pillows etc. Geez Louise. What on earth are those unaccompanied children doing in the store anyway? If they are old enough to go into the store without an adult, they should have already inculcated with their parent(s)' moral standards. Harumph!
PS As for cons, my children didn't go until they were 6 & 9 (the year my ex & I split up, no child care available for either of us) and they were in bed by 10 (at least when they were with me!)... or at least in the room. Besides, they've seen chainmail bikinis! SCA!
