Have a Nice Day!

Yeah, it bugs the heck out of me when one of my good friends STILL makes her daughter wait a half hour after eating before getting back into the pool, even on a scorcher day.

Sighing and rolling my eyes,
Kristen

About the swimming.

Sandra, I think that is probably pretty on target. It was a way to get kids
to "take a break" for the adults convenience

Having done all SORTS of crazy things unintentionally to cakes in the oven,
I'm SURE that cakes don't "fall" because of children's running through the
house. They fall for other reasons. Mom's hour or so of peace and quiet
resulted from cake-baking. "If the cake falls, it'll be your fault. Then you
can't have any cake!"

OH! I hadn't even thought of that one.

Everyone who ever told me that story, it seems, lived in a solid-floor house.
Dirt, or concrete. And they learned to bake cakes in iron woodstoves.
RIGHT, like a kid running can shake THAT, even on a wooden floor.

Bad thing is, the moms sometimes really believed it because someone told THEM
it was true.

What is with people, and doing without thinking?
