What's that saying?

Like Mother, like Daughters

I am glad that they have turned out well.

This kid has trouble written all over him?

Not really? Do you have a son? And if so, did you take care of him (or them) personally? Some toddler boys are just too active (some are not) which is nothing unusual because I remember being a kid played around my younger kiddie brothers. If living in apartments she'd need to have iron screen door with tight double locks.

I suspect each of these stories (there have been some big kids inside them in the English version of these stories) are publicity stunts. I’ve never read of a single lawsuit against the business or the company that makes the machines.

This is why you toddler “proof” the doors.

Simple solution (although it too would provoke lawsuits):

When I read the headline, I envisioned a little toddler behind the pin setting machine, getting broomed with the pins, bowling balls rolling toward him.

We found it simpler to use a deadbolt with a key lock on the inside as well, and keep the keys with us.

I was starting to think I was the only one that envisioned that.

My brother did that when he was just a few years old. He was able to open the back door (which was a double door), walk to the side gate, open it, walk along the house and then across the street, walk half a city block including across a busy intersection. He ended up at a gas station a couple of blocks away.

All in about half an hour. I think that he was supposed to be taking a nap. Lol.

All I remember was the panic. Somehow he was reunited with us shortly after. Don’t remember how. I think that my parents might have called the police.
