Jesus, it scares the hope out of me. No wonder the generation turned out so freaking weird.
"Watch Father. See him stab the big jack-o'-lanterns."
I don't know. I just can't get over how disturbing this image is to me.
Colleges should certainly be safe places. That is why most college classrooms prominently display this sign.
Now some colleges are going a step further to care for the children who attend their institutions. There is a good article in the N.Y. Times today about it (link). I was going to make up my own consent form, but then I used The Google once again and found there was no real need, at least not today when I am in a terrible hurry and almost out of time.
You will have to click on the form to read it, I think. I've run off a number of copies, though, and have left them in the all the most convenient places. There is no sense in taking risks.
Still, I can't get over Dick and Jane carving the pumpkins.
