So women blink twice as much as men
And people blink more rapidly when they're lying
therefore..........................

Yes, that would be me.

You're a very talented man Dan.....:faint:

Best get an apt with a chiropractor for the morning. You're gonna need it. And while you're at it, buy a few fire extinguishers.

Don't you recognize the Prune King when you see him?

That isn't the Prune King...his pants are WAY too dry. And with wet pants, you can't get a nice stream of air going. Nice try.

I actually saw a kid on a bike get hit by a car on Sunday.
It was pouring out. His parents came running as soon as he was hit.
Why weren't they watching him? They were probably watching the three other kids jumping on the trampoline...yes, in the rain. :mmph:

Is he ok? That's horrible. Kinda like my neighbors in my old neighborhood. The mom was always on the phone...never paying attention. The day we were moving out, these two kids show up at our front door (they are 3 and 4 years old) because they want to watch the movers. I told them no...go home. They say, oh we just are going to watch. I don't think so kids. So, they go running to play in another neighbor's garage. Another time they were in someone's yard about to go into the crawl space (along with a 2 year old kid in her diaper). I was better off just not looking out of my window so I could actually sleep at night. Glad to be out of that neighborhood!! I cannot stand parents who are so nonobservant of their children. It's amazing more aren't killed each year (although I am sure enough are injured). So irresponsible!

I don't believe one can say "much" to parents regarding their kids behaviors these days.:28: Living on the water is challenging, but, never more so come the winter with the ice and high winds. Last winter, I was walking Jeb and saw five kids trying to walk on the thin ice. I called them over, and told them how dangerous it was, and, that they could be hurt at best. Seeing how wet their shoes and pants were, I "suggested" that they return home to change and get warmed up. Within ten minutes, one of the Mother's was knocking on my front door shaking her fist at me screaming "My children can go anywhere they please, don't you ever speak to them again!" My mouth flew open, and forget my even trying to explain to this numb nut what happened! She called me a "b---ch and went home. Shaking my head, another neighbor walked over, he was walking his dog, and, said "I do believe that woman wanted her children to fall into the freezing water to collect the insurance money!" LOLLOLLOL Could be, in my practice, believe I came across all kinds of parents...no accounting for stupidity or, bad manners I reckon. My gravest concern is that the kid's carry the parental DNA!!!

 

[sun22beam]

Yeah, one winter at my old house I had kids sledding down my steep driveaway. I was unaware, since the driveway was below a window that we never look out of on the side of our home. This driveway led right into the road...and people were driving around that day. Dum dums! Of course, they also set up a lemonade stand in my yard one day without asking too...this is a 2 and 3 year old with no parental supervision I might add. This particular mom offered to watch my 3 month old son one day. I must have had a classic expression on my face...because she quickly said "I don't think you must want me to watch your child." It's these same parents that let their 2 year olds climb up a steep wall at the playground jungle gym that they are hardly strong enough to climb. The kid gets stuck, starts screaming....eventually the mom wanders over across the park from her seat on the bench. "Oh, what's the matter honey?" I'm thinking one day soon I'm gonna see one of those kids bust their head wide open. But, I don't dare touch them or give advice. I'm too busy watching and guarding my own little ones.

Maybe they thought you were weird? :noidea: Ya know, caring an' all.....:noidea:

You could certainly be right. I personally cannot stand by and watch kids get hurt. Isn't it sad that our children do not actually "see" more caring going on around them? What I left out of the story was two of the youngens progressed out on to the ice two days later, fell in, and, got the start of their lives. Funny, we didn't see anymore "ice activity" after that? :hmmmm2::noidea: Wonder if they could "sit down" after that stunt? :convinced:

You know what is sad is that us parents who take care of our kids are made out to be overprotective freaks!

Hubby and I took Kad to the park one day last year and there was a little girl there all by herself. Us four were the only ones there. I think she told us she was 6. And then proceeded to tell us her name and where she lived and etc. Which, little kids do that. But I was thinking the whole time "if I was a predator, I could sweep her up in my car and in seconds be gone....where are her parents?"

 

[sun22beam]

That statement about overprotective freaks is sooooo bizarre to me. I was commenting on 2 year olds climbing the rope wall at the park by themselves without any supervision by an adult. I was verbally snapped at. "Well, don't you think if they are strong enough to do it by themselves, they don't need help???" Sure, maybe they can pull themselves up, but when their legs are so short, and their coordination so iffy at this age, don't you think it might be nice for a parent to just stand within a couple of feet to spot the child. Just like in gymnastics, where you always have a spotter for safety. I don't get it. A child possibly dropping on his/her head from 6 feet up is not a risk I want to take as a parent. As for kids alone at the park, that's practically handing your child over to a predator in this day and age! SAD!

You know, it is a difficult position to find one's self in, from a medical perspective regarding children. Why? If we "make the call" for abuse, it is a long drawn out process in the legal system. If we don't make that call, it is difficult to sleep at night. I would think the same position applies to those in the educational field. A Mom brought her four year old in, several times, for "bumps, bruises, cuts" and finally a fracture. We had a clinical meeting, and, decided to call in the Social Workers and pursue the same. In a nutshell, eight of us ended up in Court, were chastised by the Judge, who, let the Mother walk out with nothing more than a slap on the wrist, and read the Doc's and Nurses the riot act for wasting his time!!:mmph: The disaster of it all....the Mother's boyfriend drowned the little one in their tub thirteen days later. While so very tragic, at least we tried.

Moral of the story....please folks....for ANY CHILD'S sake...take the high road, and, butt in to protect them if you can, and, if it doesn't endanger your life. And the second moral of this story...give all of your kids extra hugs and kisses just because they are YOUR kids! Best gift you can ever give them. And, that includes all of our furry babies as well!

IMHO I think that the parents of children left unattended (up to a certain age) should be held to the same laws as those who physically/mentally abuse their children. To me it is abuse too.

 

[callmeCrazyButt]

Is he ok? That's horrible.

I have no idea. He was up and walking around.

This reminds me of my neighbors. There is a deaf boy that occasionaly (long story) lives next door to me and he's been hit by a car twice. Nobody ever watches him even though there are at least 10 people living there at any given time.
This boy does whatever he wants. He's come into my backyard numerous times.
