I once threw a small seventh birthday party for my daughter when we had an evergreen tree with very low branches. My kids and two of my daughter's friends were in the tree very low when their parents arrived to pick them up and both sets of parents just freaked out that I let them in a tree. The parents didn't even have to reach up for them. They were literally low enough that a parent just reached over and plucked them like goofy fruit from the branch. I felt very sad for those children.

Tell that to the rare set of parents who let their kids go to the park alone and get in trouble for doing so.

Mostly because if something happens parents will be attacked and tortured by social services.

Quite the saps!

parents nowdays don't have much time either

When I was a kid in the 1950s they warned we'd all end up with "TV legs" from not getting enough exercise...

"too" not "to"
