"Ten years after the mysterious death of Moe toddler Jaidyn Leskie, a new kit has been launched offering parents tips on choosing a safe babysitter... the package asks parents to think about things like whether their babysitter has a temper, drug or alcohol problems, knows how to comfort a child, is mature and trustworthy."
Surely anyone that acutally needs advice like that can't read...
what about putting them in the dryer?
what do you do if they are crying and you're not allowed to bash them?
"yes hello potential babysitter - can you answer a couple of questions for me? do you have a temper or drug or alcohol issues?"
"why yes kindly new mother - i smoke ice every 20 minutes and get mad about nothing. i'm GREAT with kids though!"
and how is it people can be so fucking dumb that this is how they care for a child?
There's nothing like a case of mild concussion to calm an unruly child in my experience.
LucyD, just feed them brandy in their milk. It will make 'em sleep and the parents will have to deal with the hangover in the morning.
it's clearly a trap - if you're dumb to have to order the kit the child protection folks will be on your doorstep within the hour to take your fat kiddies away.
Usually these days you only hear about Jaidyn Leskie as rhyming slang for eskie...
'grab another beer from the jaidyn' - the first time i heard this expression i somehow thought the esky was being called jaidyn because you could probably fit a small child in it.
oh god.
that's in such poor taste.
and yet so funny.
goes to hell
haaaaaaahha that is rather funny
