You're excused. Here's a hall pass, make sure to turn it in at the office.

Who knows. I'm just saying that at one time or another this, or something like it could easily happen to almost anyone.
I know there have been times when I've felt lucky my kids are safe. It just takes no time at all for them to get themselves into dangerous situations.

It's a loooong fly kid. The center fielder goes back back back, and catches him on the warning track to retire the side.

what caught my eye was the poor design at the top of the escalator. I see the kid was trying to crawl through the gap, but didn't make it.

I don't think it's really fair to expect escalator designers to plan for children riding all the way to the top on the outside... If anything, a "way out" for him at the top would really just be a "way to fall through" for some other kid already on the second floor.

I was planning to combine the two of you into a Cloudfobble, but now I can't. Due to this debate over proper escalator design.
THANKS A LOT.

yeah; probably not a good criterion for design.
