Eden my dear, that ‘picking at puke’ story was so gross I now have to pretend that I read in wrong in order to get to sleep tonight.

Yeah, but the kicker is this:

(1) Where there are conditions that present a significant risk to the child’s health or safety.

Okay, well! I'll just tell Jackson it's illegal for him to stay in the car, and then when he turns seven we'll have a jolly good time going through all of this again.<br /><br />Thanks, sac. Huh.

(a) A parent, legal guardian, or other person responsible for a child who is 6 years of age or younger may not leave that child inside a motor vehicle without being subject to the supervision of a person who is 12 years of age or older, under either of the following circumstances:<br /><br />(1) Where there are conditions that present a significant risk to the child's health or safety.<br /><br />(2) When the vehicle’s engine is running or the vehicle's keys are in the ignition, or both.</i><br /><br />Hooray for legal ambiguity!

The best part of living here, surprisingly, may not be the proximity to several historic cemeteries, battlefields, famous dead writers' houses, or even to Walden Pond, but may in fact be the Police Log published every week in the <i>Concord Journal</i>.<br /><br />This last week's issue gave us, inter alia, the following entry:<br /><br />"Friday, Sept. 14...At 5:34 p.m., a passing motorist reported children were left in a parked vehicle on Main Street. An officer responded and found the parents just a few feet away taking pictures of a cemetery. The children were not in distress."<br /><br />Oh, and also there was this:<br /><br />"Wednesday, Sept. 12...A detail officer reported a large turtle was impeding traffic near Crosby’s Corner at 10:41 a.m. An officer checked the area but the animal was gone on arrival."<br /><br />I'm not sure why I think reading these could be useful to you, and now that I've stuck them in here I realize they look sort of random, but whatever. That's just how the pool noodle crumbles. I don’t know if this will help you out in any way, but…

Like when I take the 2 year old into the daycare. Last week she thought she was all that and tried to get out to follow me in - the alarm scared the holy shit out of her. Don't think we'll have that problem again.
