See? I didn't just imagine it: "But these things are monsters" (The Etymologiae of St. Isidore)
The post is shorter than I was originally expecting and took longer to write than I expected.
(I decided, at the last minute, not to include the full lyrics of Child Ballad #45 [think it's 45], nor my rant to parents along the lines of "Your 'greatest wish' is for your child to be normal? Really? How sad. Don't you remember all the stories of wasted wishes, and the dire consequences of foolish wishes?" That way, I leave those thoughts available for future posts).
I include a link to the full BADD archive in my post, too.
