Because, even if he doesn't fall off and severely injure himself, your two and a half year old might get a washcloth and figure out how to throw it into your bowl shaped chandelier (which he can just touch while standing on the table and likes to talk about Curious George swinging from vines as he makes the chandelier swing) repeatedly. So that when the game is over, and you forget to fish out the last washcloth, you turn on the light, and, unless you smell the smoke and figure out where it's coming from (not the dryer), there might be a house fire. Fortunately, I figured out where the smoke was coming from before the nice and toasty washcloth started to flame.
All this on the same day that my son started asking me why his sister doesn't have a penis.

SO SO funny!
Ground rules are so important!! Like "The manufacturers of the table say in the instructions that no one should walk on the table. It's againts the rules!"
My 5 year old knows that it's illegal for him to ride without being buckled. He doesn't know that HE"S Not the one hwo will be in trouble with the policeman!
Another one is "because boys and girls are different"--that's a rule too!
LOL and chuckle chuckle chuckle. Think how boring childless people's lives are.
For my input:
Today I learn my 88 year old mother does not know what an infection is, even though it has progressed to the bone. She is angry that no one told her to take care of it. My sister and I need to ship grandma's furniture to my daughter, and I am negotiating with my sis in Fresno and the shipper in Colorado and my youngest has 1/2 moved to Gilroy, leaving "her" room at my house in shambles (what else is new?). See if my mother had not had children... wait if Alexa's Great Grandmother had not had my father who wanted children....none of this fun and games would be possible!
There must be a lesson here somewhere.
I lost your blog for a while (bookmarking issues), but I am so glad I found it. I hope you can come to the reading this Saturday...
