I baby sat an infant when I was 14. We didn’t have disposable diapers in dem days. I was changing the kid’s diaper when she started crying. She had reflexively grabbed the open safety pin I left too close to her and reflexively brought it up to her face and stabbed herself on the cheek. I kinda freaked, thinking how she could have put her eye out.
I had a daycare. One of the kids came down with a temp of 106. I called Mom, told her to get over here NOW. She called me back and said she’d made a Dr’s appt for 3:00, which was about two hours away. I told her she had to come get the kid NOW.
When my son was 3 months old he managed to throw himself out of his car seat, which was sitting on the dining room table, and he fell 4 feet (?) to the floor. He just splatted! Didn’t even cry. Scared the crap out of me.
Had a teen babysitting my kids once. She went to make popcorn, but left it in the microwave too long and our microwave caught on fire. So she went to make another batch, but didn’t think to reduce the time or maybe even read the directions, and caught the microwave on fire again.
