I love old books, and as an adult I can see how times have changed. But as a child reading books written in, say, the 1800s where Black kitchen staff fawn over golden-haired white children making messes in their kitchens? I totally absorbed the racist attitudes inherent in the books. If Niko were older, I could discuss that sort of thing with him, but he's a tiny sponge so we're being more careful in general about what he's exposed to.

I use Gillette Mach 3 razor blades (including on my female face, lol!). I do not like the idea of being unable to find them!
