I was at Abbondanza picking up a pizza with my 3 and 6 year olds. We sat at a table that had a copy of The Stranger lying on it. My son went to pick it up and I told him that it was a magazine with pictures for grown ups in it and that he could read it when he was older. He asked me why and I explained that they just weren’t pictures that would make sense to a little person and that they might upset him. He said okay and asked if he could have a piece of bread while we waited for our pizza. And that was the end of that.
I read and enjoy The Stranger, although I usually read it online so I can keep up with Slog (their group blog), but my son is too young for it. I get a heck of a lot out of their local coverage though, so I’m glad it exists.
