Don't try this at home.

I noticed this image was still on my desktop and thought you might get a kick out of it (at risk of someone calling child protective). This is a pic my wife took of my oldest grandson in December of 2005. I properly indicated my disapproval but he certainly seems to be interested in the technology.

I think that picture is cute, and from what I gather, no one would ever accuse your family of endangering children. I sense a good deal of love and caring. Did everything meet his approval?

He looks like you, Mark! Not to worry, I'm sure CPS would think this is as cute as we do...

People have been doing this with children for years!

I used to do this as a kid, and that was BEFORE the introduction of push-to-start buttons.

never...

could I have done that, for one Gladys would have kicked my A**, and 2nd our Hotpoint dryer was too small to fit in.
Family next door had late 60's Lady Kenmore set in coppertone, their youngest kid was my age, and I remember him easily fitting into that dryer.
We got the Maytag 608 set when I was 13, too big to fit in any dryer then!

Push Start

When I was very, very young, I helped my little sister into a dryer and pretended that I was going to push the little red button. My mom saw that and ........well, it wasn't pretty. I didn't do that again. (I did not actually push the button but that "defense" did not seem to help).

Did you get him to clean the lint filter while he was in there?

Aw, Shucks...

A photo like that is no reason to call Child Protective Services.

Now this, on the other hand...

Mark he is just adorable, perfectly safe with the door open and someone standing by.

On the other hand Sandy you've been naughty with Photoshop!

Yeah, those old Maytag dryers had child-killer door latches that could not be opened from the inside. I liked the handle though and wished they had kept it when they went to the magnetic door latch.
