I have often wondered how we all grew up ....
When I was a little person I played outside, I scrapped my knees, I rode my bike too fast, I went to the Woods and only came home when I was hungry!
Now the little people have "indoor play areas" which resemble old mental institutions...wall to wall padding, no shoes allowed and no sharp objects allowed....
They play in play areas in parks that have soft flooring so as not to damage their supple little sturdy bodies. The roundabouts we all went on have been removed for safer things as no one wants to be blamed if little Johnny has an accident...
The school teachers aren't allowed to apply suncream to the kids...due to Health and Safety as if they did apply and a kid got sunburn who would be to blame?? Yet its fine to send them out to play in 30 degrees unprotected from harmful rays....explain that one!!
Birthdays are still celebrated at School....however candles are not permitted...Health and Safety love!! Whats a cake with no candles....its just a cake...hip hip horray!! oh...and please remember NO NUTS ALLOWED!!! I think thats referring to peanut and hazlenut and not some of the parents!!
