Baby Droppings

It may be absurd — but then again, we’re surrounded by absurdities.

There is something compelling about the idea (as inaccurate as it may be) that, if you can survive being hurled naked from the top of a tall building wreathed in flowers without suffering so much as a scratch, your luck can’t help but improve. It makes more sense than Wonderbread!

This goes way beyond superstition and abuse! I can’t believe anyone would treat their babies like this. 🙁 I wonder just how traumatized these children are before they are finally grown.

It’s unfair to do this to children who haven’t volunteered for it. The fun of free falling from a great height should be reserved for adults only. Weeeeee!

I started watching the vid full of righteous indignation.
How illogical, are these people, how can we continue to do such things, justified by tradition and religion.

but then in the last seconds of the vid when the baby bounces off the sheet into the waiting hands of Mr Man, I laughed out loud. And then I dragged the cursor back a few seconds, watched it again and laughed even harder.

You are absolutely right, it is a ridiculous practice. There must be something wrong with me.

Never before have I read so much B.S. A bunch of nannies want to gripe at the world over a 500 year old practice that although completely nuts is only potentially harmful, is by all reports, never caused any harm. What next, let’s stop kids from running, ’cause they might skin their knees?

Gimme a break
