I'm not overly vigilant ( :\ ), and I've often had my son wander off in stores--followed by several minutes of frantic searching and freaking out. I'm always scared someone will take him.<BR/><BR/>Then again, my father-in-law seems to think that if I post pictures of him on the Internet someone's going to come kidnap him because he's cute. :\<BR/><BR/>But man, how could you have been so deprived? Only ONE ice pop?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for participating!Jordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16523599384793856702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37421901.post-63970109070308415532007-06-01T12:14:00.000-07:002007-06-01T12:14:00.000-07:00You're right. Things are different now. Or, at least we're just much more aware of it. Letting kids grow up and keeping them safe is a hard job.juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03210855142994447866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37421901.post-62260251855111815462007-06-01T09:08:00.000-07:002007-06-01T09:08:00.000-07:00So annoying that we have to be downright paranoid these days.
