One hot hot day a few weeks back the girls convinced me to take a slow walk home through the local university… It has a little fountain. The kids love it…
And on a hot day it is a refreshing sight! ……
That was until a guy came over and said …
'you can't do that… There's chemicals in there…and they might get hurt.
I said…'really? Harmful chemicals in a public fountain?'
He just looked at me blankly and said 'my boss doesn't want the kids putting their feet in the water…' I said okay and the kids and i carried on home.
It got me thinking has the world of health and safety gone mad….. Or maybe someone just doesn't want to see little kids being little kids…… *sigh*
