Health and Safety at Play
“I have an incredibly brilliant solution to the problem,” he announces as he dives into the stationery drawer to rummage around. “I have invented safety improvements.” His toe still bleeds.

If life gives you lemons make bloody beef stew.”

Smart kid you have there. He could be dangerous, once big and old enough to say nay to you.

I love the creativity of children. It is entertaining to stop and look at the world from their point of view.
