There are indeed pens and pencils by the phone - but the kids have their own "stuff" to play with and dont t ouch things in our office without us being there!
Why would the kids have access to bottles - usually its in a plastic container or we help them.

I guess thats what I have so much trouble getting my head around - that everyone has the right to own a gun (or however its worded)...I find it unbelieveable - but I do live in my own little world I guess.
And yes you are right.....every parent needs to be responsible for their actions, and to take responsibility to make sure their kids are safe.

Unbellievable that common people could be allowed to own such things. Surely only politicians are responsible enough for them.
