#1221 – Clasp

We have one stroller where the clasp is so hard to open on the lap belt I dread every time I need to open it. It sometimes takes me a few tries. I’ll switch off between hands to give the other one a rest. “Hey little guy, how about I carry you the rest of the way and we leave the stroller over here in front of this steam roller?”

And thus I have deduced that it is Dealing With Children Week.
It has to be a different family each time. I can’t imagine someone trusting their children with Biff more than once.
The only thing I can say I have real difficulty opening are those children’s swings. There was this kid swinging next to my little sister, and she wanted to get off; I had to ask him for directions because I completely forgot how to open them. He laughed at me long and hard before he helped. And he was, at the very most, six years old.

Babysitting week. When I was a kid we had a dog who was a master escape artist. Could get out of anything except an airline dog crate. Put him in anything else and turn your back for 5 seconds and he’d be streaking across the yard, and the crate would be sitting there empty, yet still locked. Never ran away though. He knew where the food came from. And as a top line show dog got lots of pampering. I think the escapes was his way of saying: “Yeah, I can leave anytime I want to. I just don’t want to right now.”
Heh!
Like there’s a toddler alive that needs any help in ‘Escape 101.’ They’re ALL little Houdinis!
I’ve been thinking, if it’s babysitter week…What’s next? Biff eating jars of baby food?
My toddler hasn’t yet succeeded in becoming an escape artist. Yet.
My cat is an escape artist. Especially when it comes to the toddler.
@Chris–your stroller must have the same clasp as my car seat.
Irony being adults cannot open anything childproof but children can master any latch, bottle cap, safety gate or stroller clasp… I frequently have muttered that children are the ultimate recyclers… killing off all their parents from stress!
my little brother is an escape artist he frequently would open the clasp on the stroller i think he gets it from me
babysitting week.
