It just occurred to me that when I first watched the cartoon version of Robin Hood as a young kid, I was so ignorant I didn’t understand the concept of class. I didn’t realize that Maid Marion was anything but a girl Robin liked, and I couldn’t understand why there was any problem with them being together. The clothes they wore didn’t send the right signals to my brain because I was unaware of their context. And even if they had, back then I was so ignorant I would have thought it was foolish and childish to separate people based on such petty, meaningless things.
How nice if we could raise all kids like this!
