Please Tell Me They Didn't Let Her Procreate...

There is logic, there are job related skills, and then there is knowledge that is so fundamental and basic to species survival that one would think that anyone reaching adulthood with the capacity to hold down a job would possess it. This is the kind of knowledge that I tend to expect from those around me. I will roll my eyes at the lack of logic - you mean you didn't expect him to wipe the fingerpaint on your clothes? I will try my best to teach you job or context related skills if you stumble into my world and lack them. But if you are responsible for taking care of one of my little ones and you fail to possess that fundamental survival knowledge, please do not look at me in surprise when I am not quite so patient. For example, if you place a three year old on a changing table to change their diaper and then walk across the room to throw their diaper away LEAVING THEM on the changing table? I am going to react a bit. I might ask you what you are doing and before allowing you to answer prompt you to get back over by the child. I might even raise my voice as I try to emphatically tell you that you can not EVER leave a child alone on a changing table because children - they move...they wiggle...they fall...they smack their heads open on the floor...they need stiches and CT scans and Lord only knows what else. How does a seemingly functional adult not realize that leaving a wiggly kid on a high surface is a really bad idea? And please tell me she did not ever receive a child of her own to take home to test these theories on!
