Are they kidding???? I’m stunned into silence on this one. Why don’t we just take our kids and lock them in their sterilized rooms until they’re 30??
Simple. If you kids are allergic to latex, keep ‘em away from latex balloons. Oh, never mind. That would require responsibility and we cannot have that in a nanny state.

We don’t do it because the social engineers will tell us that people’s allergic reactions to sterile rooms appear around age 29.

I’m 51 years old and never heard of anyone being allergic to peanuts until about three years ago. Then suddenly 3 out of every 10 kids seemed to get sick on peanuts!

Your comment reminded me of a joke I heard from James Dobson.
“When your child turns 13, put them in a barrel and feed them through the hole. When they turn 18, plug the hole.”

When I was a kid, we were running the rails on 6ft wooden fences that separated backyards. My friend fell and landed in old window glass in a trash pile. My dad cleaned her bloody gash with turpentine, put on a bandage and we went back to play on the fence....Can you imagine...these days...?
