Yoga teaches us that Turtles are the true superior parents, they feed their children just by thinking about it and doing nothing. She should have known better than to eat in a French restaraunt, didn't she watch Disney's Ratatoulie? It just seems easier to discuss parenting by setting universal parenting issues in a land far, far away. In the book I'm reading Playful Parenting kids use play to explore their own issues, peek-aboo shows us that people come, go, and return. I guess that's the allure of assigning universal parenting issues to exotic far away cultures to discuss them. As a storytelling technique, it's fine.
