It is interesting to see that you cannot fathom what harm could have come to you while your mother was out of sight- even if it was in the 50s, any number of things could have happened, and gladly did not.

Like what? You have to be kidding. It was a different time and place 50 years ago. It does NOT compare to now.

What? There were no heavy mirrors in the 50s? LOL!

Because mirrors were just installed better back then, darn it. :)

The boy was killed by a falling mirror- you will recall mirrors were around in the 50s. A few other things that were around in the 50s- flamable drapes-indoor smokers!, faulty building materials, shoddy craftsmanship, and even bad people bent on harming others.

Leaving a child unattended exposes that child to any of these things and more and is just as negligent as letting a child play next to a mirror, whether it is in the 50s or the 00s.

I heartily agree with you on every post DJ. And said something similar earlier on.

Am I getting confused with another poster, or courtesy pinged? Boy! I leave to have lunch for an hour..
