My daughter broke her arm falling from a garage roof(don’t ask). Guess garages should be banned too.

A son ripped his hand climbing on a chain link fence. Should ban them.

A daughter got a sewing needle embedded in her foot.
Ban all needles.

Another son ran into a parked car and injured his chin(another don’t ask). Ban parked cars.

I could go on and on but so could all Freepers.

The parked car comment reminds me of the time that one of my twins came sauntering into the house saying, “Emma knew better than to do that.” And didn’t say anything else.

When I asked what happened, I got “she knew better than to do that!” — then Em came in screaming and I found out. Not quite hitting a parked car, but rather riding a scooter, barefoot, down a hill.

Ban scooters! *rolls her eyes* I say, ban dentists *nods*

I can remember crawling out of my bedroom window onto the roof when I was about four. No harm done. I looked around, admired the view, and then crawled back in. Not sure if my parents knew I had done it.

Our children and grandchildren all spend a lot of time outdoors, skiing, snowboarding, sailing, and other assorted dangerous activities, including chain sawing.

On the whole, I think it’s better than sitting on a couch watching TV.

My oldest daughter took a baseball bat to the face (yes, on accident). Same daughter about seven years earlier stuck a navy bean up her nose which required a pair of tweezers, surgeon like steady hands and the constant begging of 'Please stop crying, you're going to breathe in too deep and these tweezers are only so long'. Same kid who choked on everything from Froot Loops to noodle soup with angel hair sized noodles with only one noodle in her mouth. The kid could actually choke on air.

Life happens. You tie up the mini-blind cords, cover the outlets and pray for the best.

Didn't this actually happen in a fairy tale? And it didn't work?
