Just the Three of Us
Rejected Olympic Sport: Toddler Tossing
Monday, September 29, 2008



While my heart skipped a beat each time the child was tossed up into the air, the adults in the video were obviously in immense glee. While I was appalled by the parents' flippant regard for their children's safety and their nonchalance, it was an innocuous child's play to them.

I will never do that to any child or allow anyone to fling my child around like that. Over my dead body! In all seriousness, I think the parents need to be counselled and sent to a rehabilitation centre for cognitive disorder.

My conclusion: Either I'm just a nervous nelly or this is a shining example of my husband's pet phrase, "Stupidity has no cure"!
