With kids, you have to check the yard very carefully for toys, rocks, etc. before mowing. Now I only have to make a quick check in the back yard for anything that got thrown over the fence from the neighbor’s kids.
Looks like Dad didn’t see the ‘victim’.. hit and run!!. Barbie didn’t last long in my ring of friends when I was a kid, either, but we were more direct about it. First, she lost her hair. Then, after several attempts to jamb her onto a Breyer mold horse and giving new meaning to the phrase ‘hip dysplasia’, she eventually just lost her head altogether. By that time, we had all moved on to wheeled and/or mechanical things anyway.
When I went to the emergency room recently one of the nice doctors pointed out he was now guilty of billions of murders, for using antibiotics to kill so many “germs”.
For ages I have tried (in working in my shop, for example) to live by the slogan “If you could not fix it, don’t break it.” I carry that far enough that I try to avoid stepping on ants, for example. But a friend carried that a step further, asking whether I would have to be able to repair an ant’s leg if I broke it, and also asking where I studied orthopedic surgery for insects.
In the criminal justice system, sibling rivalry is a common source of backyard crimes. Investigations are carried out by two separate yet equally important factors of the family: the caregivers who know their way around their house and their kids, and the disciplinarians who dole out punishments. These are their stories.

If Zoe had let Hammie catapult Barbie, Barbie would still be alive today.

Cover the kids’ eyes, she shouldn’t be exposed to such carnage at such a tender age.

This is exactly how a scary movie begins. At first, it seems like an ‘accident’.

What if your name is actually "Barbie"®? Can you introduce yourself without a registered trademark?

Don’t worry Hammie will get his hat and magnifying glass. He’ll track the whole thing down.

My older brother managed to separate the head from the body of every Barbie I owned at one point or another.

Maybe you should have picked up everything before you started mowing. Just sayin.

Well that’s what happens when you don’t take care of your things.
