[net.kids] Re. Snake pit = Kindness Box

Na, it's no good if you can SEE through it!  Remember the whole point of
the 'Kindness Box' was so you COULDN'T see the kid!  Nice try though Simone.

But don't give up.  Send your idea, slightly modified, to those 'other'
people with the dandy suggestions for child control.  Like the people
who kidnap dollies - they could throw it in with the snake, eh?  Wouldn't
little Samantha freak out to see Zippity Doo Cabbage Patch loose her 
potential to grow up to be a truck driver by being licked to pieces by
snakey.

Would this be the ultimate place to place the cookie jar?  The loose change?
My toothbrush?  (Don't you hate it when your toothbrush has soap on it?
And you pray they haven't been helping mommy by scrubing the toilet with it)

Why don't they ever do that stuff with THEIR toothbrushes?


Or how about making little Johnny kiss snakey for being bad?  THAT might
motivate him to pick up his room!  At least that sounds better than one
person's claim that mom made the boys kiss - on the perhaps shakey
assumption they wouldn't like it.  Talk about playing with fire!
