it must have been a very big pile for two ten year olds to hide in. think about it.

No, it doesn't have to be that big, think about it. I certainly am. I'm thinking that both my kids with a modest covering of leaves would be smaller than most of the windblown piles currently in my yard.

I'm attributing your continued insistance upon arguing this matter to the natural tendency people have to come up with all sorts of reasons why "it can't happen to me". If it makes you feel better, go for it, but I'm acknowledging that it CAN happen to ME. Now, if you feel the need to attack me and tell me why I'm stupid to think so, I can't stop you.

I agree, see my post.

it can happen to anybody, but you have to be something to want to park atop a pile of dead leaves. if you do that, it would be handy to have the fire department's number close by.

i have more sense than to park on a pile of leaves.
