I'll have to check with them when they get home to see if they understand that the poo and farts refer to radioactivity, and if they understand what that is. We've already had conversations with our older d who asked me and my h to explain various kinds of radiation and why some are dangerous and others are not. I also think that kids can tell that people are quite worried and that if everything was going to blow over in a week with no danger, there wouldn't be so much fuss being made--so a bit overly reassuring. But perhaps in Japan, where the kids are in the midst of it, simply having the humour about it, rather than it being explanatory, is beneficial.

This is .... Hello Kitty meets The Attack of the Fifty Foot Man. It would be more realistic if Nuke-boy was sitting in his nursery along with three or four Diaper Genies that had caught on fire.
