[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I once placed my phone in between a folded up pool towel next to the ledge of the pool. I had been taking pics of kids. A pool attendant was tidying up and grabbed the towel and my phone fell out and I watched as it narrowly missed tumbling into the pool. The attendant apologized profusely and I stopped her. I said it was my fault. Why would I think that was a good place?

Accidents happen.[b] A toddler throwing a phone into a pool is an accident[/b]. No one to blame, everyone to blame.

No, that is a deliberate action from someone who doesn't understand the consequences.  Not understanding the consequences does not mean there aren't any.[/quote]

Yup, the consequence is the adult needs to buy a new phone. Hopefully, the adult also learns to better care for their belongings instead of expecting toddlers to do it for them.

It’s the height of entitlement to expect toddlers to be more responsible than adults. [/quote]

Nope, the consequence is the adult of the toddler needs to offer to replace the phone that their child destroyed. Hopefully, the parent also learns to watch their child better instead of expecting toddlers to watch themselves. [/quote]
