Looking for tips on how to control the rugrats ? Want to know what the latest trend in baby strollers is ?

Spanish village holds baby jump
A Colacho jumper leaps over infants in Castrillo de Murcia on 25 May
The jumpers were leaping over five or six infants at a time

Grown men have been leaping over rows of babies in the north Spanish village of Castrillo de Murcia in an annual rite meant to ward off the Devil.
Jumpers dressed as the Colacho, a character representing the Devil, bounded over clusters of bemused infants laid out on mattresses.
Nobody appeared to get hurt in this year's festive event.

Castrillo, near Burgos, has been holding the event since 1620 to mark the Catholic feast of Corpus Christi.
The feast is widely celebrated in Spain, often with processions and mystery plays.
Pageants can feature dancers depicting demons and angels or other characters.

Reminded me somehow of a joke:

How do you make a baby float?
2 scoops of baby, one scoop of ice cream.

Each to their own I suppose but still doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as that one where they throw the babies off some tower in India.

I have considered throwing BBIII out of his 2nd story bedroom window a few times now. The only thing stopping me is my fear of being nicknamed "Michael jackson"
So…if you wish to wish a wish, you may swish for fish with my Ish wish dish.

I shouldn't worry about it. Kids are especially built for throwing out of windows.

Fair point.

And yet who amongst us can say they've never punted the beloved son & heir off the top of a 50ft phallic tower?
