Keep Away From Children
So I need to make lunches and stick them in the fridge before I can go upstairs for the night and I notice that one of the bags has a hole. Actually, I noticed it a few days ago but didn't feel urgent about fixing it. As unfixed holes are wont to do, it grew. Just a little bit, but enough that "A stitch in time saves nine" keeps going through my head as I envision the additional work I'm going to have to do to fix it once it's really big. Or worse, my poor kid is going to spill his lunch all over the place because his mom was too irresponsible to fix it. But I digress.
I go down to the garage to get my recently purchased package of needles and upstairs to get my thread. I tripped over some shoes in the dark and woke the baby, adding 20 minutes to my project, but I digress again. Down I go, finally ready to fix the lunch bag. It will feel nice, I think, to cross it off my list of things to do. I am afraid I am going to die with a "TO DO" list, but that's a post for another time.
Here's the funny part: the needles have a note on them: "Caution: Contains sharp objects. Keep away from children." Now, I'm all for warning labels, but this one reminded me of a Seinfeld joke about signs that say "No Dogs Allowed, Seeing Eye Dogs Excepted." Is the sign for the blind person, asks Jerry, "or for the dog?" So is this note for the people who didn't realize that needles were sharp and should not be offered to children as playthings or to the rest of us? Either way, I'm not sure how much of a difference it's going to make.
