Would you like a babysitter with that?
What disturbs me most about this article is not the relative unsafety of the playground nets at fast food restaurants, but the fact that the mother of the child who died had to bring her kids to work with her; leaving them to play unattended in the Burger King Playground. That says something about the difficulty and expense of child care in the US.
A Boquet of One. No roses for Valentine's Day honey; I'll take one of these. Only 15 blooms have been recorded in the US and the flowers, when opened, emit a smell like "rotting-fish-with-burnt-sugar". How romantic.
