In response to this week's cartoon (see yesterday's post), reader J.P. writes:
When I was at a pumpkin patch last Halloween with my son, I heard a father calling to his own son, "C'mon, Kevlar, it's time to go." That poor kid.
Update: Reader Elmore points out this may be a nickname, as he has a friend named Kevin whom people refer to as Kevlar. I'd thought of this too, but even so, using a term that means "bulletproof material" to refer to your young son seems kind of... icky.
