HOW MANY CONSUMED DINKY'S 2B CONSIDERED DANGEROUS

Isn't it amazing, that we as kids, played with BB guns, had sling shots, drank water from a garden hose. We didn't try to eat the front porch, the window frames, the house, our express wagons, or our toys and WE ALL SURVIVED! We were told NOT TO and if we did abuse our liberties, we got a smack on the butt! And for you lawyers out there, I didn't try to sue my parents,( I still can't believe that one), for getting my ass beat for doing something stupid, I was just a little more cautious about what I did the next time. I was taught to respect my parents and my elders. Something very rare today. Today, the kids have too much freedom, not enough discipline and too many bleeding heart know it alls who want to make a name for themselves by saying take all the old rules away from the teachers, among other things, in schools,(The dumbest maneuver ever), don't allow the parents to strongly discipline their children, if at all or we'll take you to court and the list goes on and on. Bottom line,(We reap the benefits or downfalls of what we sow). One will certaintly out weigh the other.
 
Good one Paul. I agree, but I did eat some paint off my crib as a baby. That could explain a few things /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

LOL, I was told that I ate some axle grease once while in my dads shop, as he was supposed to be watching me. All it apparently did for me was make me MOVE faster.If you get my drift.

I'm with you on all of the above, plus I used to get armies of wonderful little "lead" soldiers every Christmas and Birthday so that I could chew their little heads off and I <span style="color: #FF0000">STILL</span> maintain that <span style="color: #009900">I'M</span> not crazy...It's the <span style="color: #FF0000">REST</span> of the world!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazyeyes.gif

PS Just got my latest Dinky (the green one /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif ) and will just have to control the urges to gnaw at the paint /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif

Whew..I feel a little better now...thought for a moment I had lost my heart and emotions...and don't get me wrong I feel for the one family that lost their child from eating their toys magnets and businesses need to be accountable for their err's...but again "how much can we protect ourselves from ourselves"...cheers!

I'd almost think kids will get more health-related problems from second hand eating in day care centers than from Chinese paint! Have you ever watched the little tykes in those places? One picks up a toy & inserts in his mouth then drops it..the next kid comes along & repeats it, etc....
