:doh: But what if the 'target' is a person? :doh:
Thanks for the list.
Did you know, hot coffee can burn you? This is a warning, in case you did not know. LOL (Seriously, it's common sense that some of these things are not meant for small children or that some of them can poke you in the eye if you are not careful. The world has gone, warning label mad.) Should we put warning labels on sticks too. hahaha WARNING! Sticks are pokey. May cause injury if poked by a stick or hit with a stick.
Not everyone is as smart as us Faerie. I know alot of people who lack common sense and in my opinion shouldnt have kids but do. They are the ones that labels are made for. However, there are also people out there who dont have kids and would sincerely give a gift not thinking of the hazards.
=================
While in practice I would often say the same prayer once a set of parents would leave...."Dear God, please, protect that child from those two idiots!" Who knows what some parents are thinking, but they display precisely their inability TO THINK. On the opposite side are the proverbial "know it all" parents, equally difficult to deal with.
My brother doesn't have any children, and, when my son was in the toy stage of life, my brother would merely send me a check to go and buy something appropriate. Or, I would buy the gift I wanted my son to have, and, he would pay for it. Most folks who buy for children truly want them to have a nice toy, and, just look at its popularity or packaging not giving safety to much thought. I always look forward to the lists at this time of year, and, the recall lists. It gives parents and gift buyers a good head's up.
Not having any grandbabies (that I know of!), and only buy toys for Jeb, I marveled at all the choices the other day while I was out shopping. Yet the "Mommy" in me would think "Oh that is dangerous!" or "What if they were to fall with THAT in their hands?" Old habits die hard. So bravo to all the Spoofee parents out there carrying out the toughest job in the world....that of being a parent! Not for the timid!
