in the sandbox
As any parent knows it is hard to have a conversation with another adult while in the company of a small child. An it is an order of magnitude harder when both have small children. Probably the best thing to do is to go to the playground and put them both in the sandbox. Surrounded by its own fence it keeps kids in to interact as they are able to

In this forum it seems as hard to have an adult conversation as it is being a parent.
So I am offering this thread for the small children around here to interact and keep yourself out of adult threads.
I am sure we all know who you are. Mostly you have nursery-like avatars

I hope that when a Mod sees sandbox behavior they they pick the tots up and put them in the sandbox.

Oh and remember no throwing sand

She clenched the handle of the shovel and heaved it from the sand.....it raised itself up high; a mighty Excaliber....and she slashed and struck out at the sky until it hung torn and sheared....the shards of sky lie open....a jagged hole of escape for the inhabitants of the sandbox
"I will be back" she called down into the little sand cell....as she went along her way

And so they waited.

The sandbox wasn't all that bad, why would she leave them? They had sand burgers and sand coke to keep their bellies full. "More than enough to go around", he said. "Let her leave and think not of her. For this sandbox will flourish and all its inhabitants shall bask in its glory."

But Ted's thoughts wondered as the Sandbox King calmed the others.

That was the best idea I'd heard for ages. Sadly it only stayed the best idea I'd heard for ages for about 10 seconds, because after that time my idea kicked in.

Hey, about a separate thread for the ever-expanding "holier than thou" brigade?

Ted's not going there, man. Ted's busy googling the definition of the word "Quaalude" and trying to find out whether or not it applies to this thread. Hey, wait a minute - "Ted" rhymes with "thread". Coincidence?!?! I think NOT!!! I'm PMing Xico and we're going to get to the bottom of this!!!!

As his hands dug deeper and deeper down. Ted's smile soon turned to a look of despair, *for what was it that I found?* said Ted without a care.

Just a small deposit that my neighbor's cat, had left in the sand.

Would it be considered rude to post a link to this thread to a person acting less than "adult"?

I wouldn't think so...and I may borrow your idea from time to time, if that's ok

Borrow my idea? Hell yeah! As a matter of fact spread the idea. I declare my idea public domain.
