Protecting Equipment from Children

Just like my pets who I dearly love. Whatever you have to do, don't let them anywhere near your system. No Excuses. Full Stop.

My dog and rabbit guard the stereo. If they can get past the dog they have to face the rabbit. Tough nut that Junior, he takes no crap from kids. 

ALL my kids learned OWIE!. That is an owie! When the kids don't learn I swat the parents. Teach your kids, PARENTS!

Like I tell the little DEMONS, I could have adopted, and still CAN!! :-) Now go ring that neighbor's doorbell and hide in the bushes. 

Let me get my Sony A99 this is a Sony moment coming up. CLICK!!!

Henry (the neighbor) answers the door in garters and a red corset. Sometimes he has his feathers on. CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK. He'll do a runway to the mail box if he's been drinkin'.
I just turn the stereo UP and play "She can leave her hat on" by Joe. Wish he'd shave those legs a little closer, back, head, arms. He's Greek, hairy little gomer!

I put my speakers close to and facing the wall. Found a child hiding behind it - hide and seek. No damage. The parents were another thing. Spilled hot tea on a wood surface and left to "potato chip" peel. Flushed an upstairs toilet, clogged, filled to the brim, flushed again. Ignored the mess until it started dripping on the ceiling below. Then "Not my fault" first words when we got home. You’re doomed. : )

I think we've all had a driver dustcap pushed in at one point or another by little fingers. lesson learned. I'd like to share this. We moved into a house and had to furnish the whole thing. Part of that was getting a brand new 50" plasma. Beautiful TV. So we had a party. Some kid opened her can of soda on the TV stand and sprayed the TV. No one said a thing. I noticed it weeks after it happened. I was never able to completely get rid of some of the smudges. Again, lesson learned.
