...of a sort. Did you see that a bishop was arrested - and allegedly roughed up - by police for sending his son up a chimney. This was no Dickensian throwback however. He put his son on his house's chimney (attached to a harness) to take part in a 'most unusual place to read a book' competition. I WANT HIM TO BE MY DAD!
He sounds GREAT! I can understand a passer-by being a bit concerned but come on, in this day and age of seriously lazy parenting and even lazier forms of abuse (eat what you like, play what you like, I'll do to you what I like...) what serious abuser is going to go to the effort of taking a kid and sticking them on a chimney stack!? Common sense, people!
From this moment on I want to see more kids up a ladder and crawling all over the eaves. I want to see 'em up telegraph poles, in trees (taller the better). Now, what did I do with that ladder...
