Esteemed Younger Son: "I want to join Boy Scouts."
Mom and Me, in Chorus: "NO, but we can see about Spiral Scouts"
Esteemed Younger Son: "I wanna be a boy scout, not a Spiral! Why?"
Mom: (Longish explanation of such things as the Christian militarism inherent in the BSA, the rampant homophobic intolerance, etc)
ESY: "But they have such *neat* uniforms!"
Me: "So did the Third Reich . . . ."
