Lisa: no means no
Dear Walgreens cashier,
Please do not expose my one-year-old daughter to the sight of your plush caveman singing Do It Like They Do on the Discovery Channel. Similarly, hide away your mechanical puppy holding a valentine heart and offering an inappropriately sexual R&B message. In fact, maybe stay away from the animatronics altogether. She's saying "no" for a reason.
Sincerely,
Common Sense

For the record, mine would read, "Dear Santa's mall elf, Please do not roll up your sleeve and show your 'awesome' Batman tattoo to my already confused about toughness five-year-old. It validates tattoos as an acceptable form of expression...which it is not." Sincerely, Rational Behavior.
