I received an email from Parenting.com yesterday with the huge headline, "11 SUMMER DANGERS AND HOW TO AVOID THEM!" Well, course, I just had to find out immediately what was included in the list of eleven.
Complete with the corresponding fear-mongering subtitles, here's the list of 11:
"Sneaky Beach Bummers"
- Sand
- Rip Currents
- Jellyfish
- Shells
"Hidden Park Hazards"
- Jungle gyms
- Spiders
- Poison Ivy
"Backyard Drags"
- Pools
- Bees
- Sandboxes
- Mosquitos
It's enough to make a new parent want to wrap their children in bubble wrap and keep them indoors forever! What do you think of this article?

Wait, you mean you might find *sand* and *shells* at the *beach*?!?!? Perish the thought! Wait, pools and sandboxes might be in back yards, and jungle gyms at the park?!?
Whatever shall we do about this menace?
My vote: GO PLAY ON THEM!!!!!!
