She is willing to take the heat from the kids too, if it helps.<BR/><BR/>An example of why it is not good for kids to be on these sorts of toys...<BR/><BR/>Let's say one of your darling angels is riding the toy and runs into a car with a nice paint job causing a large scratch. Your family would be liable for the damage and it would be paid out under your homeowners insurance. As a result your rates might increase and your children might find themselves not only without motorized toys but without other things they like as well (ok that may have been over dramatic, but you get my drift)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, feel free to make it all my fault. Having some other person for the kids to grump at is a good idea :)Elizabeth Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16937757420668502389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534899535780442639.post-78315803381030224842008-04-17T09:35:00.000-07:002008-04-17T09:35:00.000-07:00Okay so lets say you have this friend who has two ...Okay so lets say you have this friend who has two girls, who own a Barbie car very similar to the one you mentioned.

At Christmas my boys were out zipping around on it and the neighbor boy was out with his bike with training wheels. He kicked it, threw it to the ground and started crying..."I don't want this...I want that!" pointing to my boys. His parents probably wanted to kill me and write me nasty notes. I am horrified, humbled and sorry.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Not really, that scooter keeps them busy and out of the house! But the good thing is that we have the only really nice lawn in the neighborhood, running over the neighbors yards would probably be an improvement. If you came to visit and let your kids ride it, my Jeff would chase them.

So imagine what a bad parent I appear to be when I run into the house to go to the bathroom, and my 5 year old abandons the 3 year old in the car, who promptly drives across the driveway, lawn, and into the street, just as my mother-in-law shows up. I just blame DH for purchasing it :)<BR/><BR/>(And thanks for the comment- yes it is me, and I'm excited to meet you in person)Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15331821292708545511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534899535780442639.post-61694671393101313292008-04-16T20:44:00.000-07:002008-04-16T20:44:00.000-07:00Yes, we had one of those neighbors too.
