My son (now 37) loved the WWF when he was 5 or 6. He had several action figures, including Hulk Hogan. I’m ashamed to say that my husband took him to a WWF spectacle once, and I asked him about the experience this morning after reading Heather’s newsletter.

I’m ashamed to say that my husband took him to a WWF spectacle once, and I asked him about the experience this morning after reading Heather’s newsletter. He said it seemed like performance and he thought it was harmless fun at the time, but we both sort of marveled at our parenting lapse in supporting this ridiculous entertainment. I mean Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was one thing, but... Suffice to say, my son’s WWF period didn’t make it past first grade, which right about where it should have ended. Trump never really made it past that stage.
Ha! I had a similar experience with my younger son (now 43). He became enraptured by WWF when we returned to the US after 7 years in Thailand. He was 12 at the time. I was appalled by it. I actively and vocally hated WWF. In retrospect, I think this might have been a form of adolescent rebellion. The sudden move was pretty traumatic for all of us. He grew out of it after a while and turned into a fine man.
