The war in Iraq has not gone unnoticed by children who have been inundated by the relentless TV coverage. Boys especially have been held captive by all that footage of tanks and guns, soldiers and battles.
Already familiar with such territory from playing with GI Joes, computer games and Nintendo, children had the opportunity to see the real thing practically live, making the news the hottest show on TV.
Will we all pay a price in years to come for letting them watch with such fascination?
Meanwhile, war is big business on every front. In the spirit of Yankee ingenuity, Company Kids has come up with a novel approach -- cargo and camouflage bedding for boys.
What mini-macho man wouldn't love to crawl inside his khaki sheets fatigued? The camouflage print would actually be great on camping trips. The bomber planes? That's a motif with a dangerous mission!
The line includes sheets, comforter covers, shams, sleeping bags and curtains. Contact Company Kids at 1-800-356-9367 or visit companykids.com.
