And isn't *that* a sad commentary? <head shaking>

It's not just a safety issue. A lot of kids are just too lazy these days to
walk...

And it's the way they've done it in my office.

Sure they can, they just don't. It's a myth that it's become more
dangerous for children out there. People are just more
afraid/cautious/paranoid (whatever you like).

Since a kid was killed somewhere maybe 30 miles from here,
selling door to door has done bit the dust. I actually think that
maybe it's been legally banned. I'm not sure.

Some communities and apartment/condo buildings forbid it, e.g. "no
soliciting" rules or ordinances...

I wish I could say you're full of it, Greg, but you've got a legit
point. Fortunately, DH and DS spend most afternoons playing ball,
riding bikes, or walking...

Thank you , Terry. Parenting doesn't come with an owner's manual, and
I tried to do the best I could, like everyone else. The issue here is
not whether someone gets their "favorite cookie". The tiny lessons
you teach your kids sometimes turn out to be more important than you
could ever imagine.
