42. Be careful with plastic bags and tabs around children

The world of the child is evolving and not precisely aligned with adult sensitivities and knowledge. My concern was the plastic film that could be sucked into the mouth and block the airway. Not a play thing. The kids were concerned about the flat, irregularly shaped piece of plastic that is used to keep the plastic bag closed, and they puzzled how something like that could harm them. They could not imagine an airway getting blocked by the innocuous looking limp plastic. This is a good example of the different worlds of children and adults.
