A Florida 2-year-old lost both feet Wednesday night after her father accidentally backed over her with his riding lawn mower... Two-year-old Ireland Nugent was calling her father’s name as he mowed the lawn Wednesday night, but he didn’t see her, said Nugent, who watched as her husband mowed over her daughter’s legs.

Some of the self-righteous comments here insinuate that tragic accidents involving negligent parents did not happen until recently. That is not true. Tragic accidents involving negligent parents have always happened. It was only in recent times that news of these accidents are instantly transmitted to millions of people by way of mass media and the internet so that people sitting in their easy chairs at home can make snarky comments about how these things would never happen back in their day.

My ‘folks’ worried I was spending to much time behind the horses and cows and one day I found out why.

Actually, they are NOT horse apples or cow pies.

But, on the good side, I did learn to recognize a Horse’s Ass when I see one.

A space heater.

FYI, not my space heater and I wasn’t there at the time.

Well, that happens sometimes. Even if I had caught it after it posted, I wouldn’t have been able to go back and change it.

btw - I read it several times after your comment before I realized the ‘was’ was missing. The mind fills in the blanks.
