My son screams bloody murder when he has DPT shots, getting his blood drawn, etc. If I were you, I wouldn't let my child play outside. He might *gasp* fall down, skin his knee and *egad* cry bloody murder! (-: BTW, when my son was circumscised, he was returned to us about 20 min. after the doctor took him for the procedure, was not crying and nursed well. -- ============================================================================== Jeff Cushner @ Citicorp-TTI Santa Monica CA 90405 (213) 450-9111 x2273 {vortex,philabs}!ttidca!ttidcb!cushner

CIRCUMCISION DECISION Having been the originator of the circumcision controversy a few months ago I'd like to report to the net.kids readers that a second daughter joined our family. Thank you for your responses, my husband and I were well prepared to decline a circumcision if the baby had been a male. My advice to all parents-to-be is know all the facts and make your decision before the birth of the baby.
