Borklog: One entry

29 July 2001

Cool quote from the balloon mailing list. "Also roller blades mixed with stairs and pushy friends make for a lethal combination. (personal experience)" in a discussion about whether (as Jeapordy! says) balloons are the most dangerous children's toy. For those of you with small children, balloons are choking hazard. If the little'un is in the "immediately put into mouth stage" (which alas sometimes I'm in that stage), then balloons are not apporpriate. (they are a conforming surface, so if a balloon breaks in their mouth, it'll conform to the airway - the Heimlich (tm) won't dislodge it) Likewise, if you have dogs that chew everything, balloons aren't good to have around them either.
