Is this a contest, J&J? "First prize: A week in the hospital. Second prize: Two weeks."

[write_light]

I'm tickled that the little girls are shown doing some serious roughhousing right along with the boys. Yay for tomboys (I was a treeclimber myself).

Ha! I just suggested having a tomboy day! Great minds, etc.! ;)

[khh1138]

Great idea!! So many great ads. That old Lego beauty, for instance.

I was on a trip recently when the conversation veered toward first aid kits, since I carry a small one and a friend was in need of a band-aid. I was surprised that she said she's never kept a first aid kit in her house! There was one in our house ever since I can remember. I guess I wouldn't have been as surprised if my friend were younger than me, but she's quite a bit older and I would've thought raising three boys would be enough of a reason to have one.

Hey, there's a possible contest or theme idea: Accidents waiting to happen!

This makes me miss the outdoor barbecue we had attached to our chimney before we remodeled.
