Those are all hilarious, Linda. There seem to be more and more senseless warnings on products. When we bought Cody a baby wading pool (3 feet wide and 18 inches deep), it had affixed to it a sticker showing a person jumping off a diving board, with an X through the image. Really? Into 18 inches of water? Ouch.

Don’t have too much faith in us, do they Cordelia’s Mom? I’ll bet Cody knew just what to do. My son bought some kind of toy gun from China. Had instructions, “Don’t point at creature.”

That’s encouraging when it’s peanut butter. I’ve have hamburgers I was suspicious off.
