Unfortunately they make a big mess which isn't remedied at the push of a button.<br /><br />And you're right - why do they put them where kids can get at them?Martian Mommanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572070976923021388.post-13915246179380913272010-04-18T15:10:42.804-07:002010-04-18T15:10:42.804-07:00I just found your blog and feel like I should be c...I just found your blog and feel like I should be commenting all over it. This was perfect, it's exactly what I would be like. I feel like I get judged for not being embarassed or not "scolding" my child when "I should" but you just learn not to sweat that kind of stuff. Especially when something happens with no melt down!

What it really should say is PUSH ME NOW. So far we have avoided any button pushing incidents but I am sure one day it will happen. <br /><br />I have been reading through your blog over the last few weeks and your experiences have reminded me so clearly of my children when they were younger (and in some cases how they are still today). <br />Thank you for your blog; it has reminded me that you do have to laugh at yourself at times. <br /><br />MMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920707568333165178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572070976923021388.post-3665115882832873392010-04-12T18:14:03.485-07:002010-04-12T18:14:03.485-07:00I have one who's a button pusher also!

He pushes buttons on everything! I can't get him out of the toy ailses without pushing every button of every toy there is. We MUST push all of the handicapped entrance buttons on every doorway! <br /><br /><br />I adore your patience and positive outlook on what could be a incredibly embarrassing event! I look up to you and hope I can be half as good as you when my emergency button day finally arrives!!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035150095648500333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572070976923021388.post-12861814709658874892010-04-12T15:12:40.885-07:002010-04-12T15:12:40.885-07:00Aw, I love it!
Those emergency buttons scream at ...Aw, I love it!<br /><br />Those emergency buttons scream at me too. I just want to push them. <br /><br />It's like "that's their whole purpose in life" - who am I to deny them a chance to be something great? I have to push them.<br /><br />As a child, I did more than my fair share of emergency button pushing with some hilarious consequences.<br /><br />Now that I'm an adult, my button pushing days are mostly behind me. Fortunately, I can rely on my kids to let me know exactly what those big red buttons do.<br /><br />Sure, I'm briefly embarrassed but I always go home with a great story.Gavin Bollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833941398375568706noreply@blogger.com
