Kids need to be kids again. Let the get a scrape or a bruise. Its not going to kill them. We don't live in a bubble. Its amazing how girls are becoming boys and boys are becoming girls. Wake up and smell the coffee and get over it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368963364388591823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-62488089498912691452016-07-23T12:39:01.165-04:002016-07-23T12:39:01.165-04:00I was on Romper Room back in 1980

I loved mine and walked around on them all over the place. However, when I wanted to go up or down the stairs, I carried them. My parents probably made me do that. Also mine were made of really sturdy plastic and were maybe just five inches high.

I guess I just never got the point of the toy, but that doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy them when I was a kid. <br /><br />As far as asking if this blog is serious, I invite you to read some of the most recent posts and you tell me. This blog is one of my passions and I'm quite proud of it.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122952408610512684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-13082584137726009292012-02-10T22:22:20.202-05:002012-02-10T22:22:20.202-05:00Is this a truly serious blog???

If you are as intelligent as you claim you be coordinated, you would see that any toy given the right circumstances could be potentially dangerous. Furthermore, as a mother of two who has stepped on her fair share of Legos, I have to say these are simply sad examples of what can result from poor parenting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-87996912451704763922008-05-24T12:02:00.000-04:002008-05-24T12:02:00.000-04:00Ah, Romper Room!
