This is a surprising video

Children running outside in the snow. Nearly naked.

Not that surprising when you consider that I know several very young children who would jump at the chance to do just that. What is it with kids and taking off all their clothes the second they can? They can practically see their breath some days, and what do they do? Run around naked!

Welcome to my life, where it's all naked, all the time. *sighs* But at least I can say that I hardly ever splash them with cold water.

You don't see abused children joyfully running over to have water dumped on their heads, so I think these kids are fine. If they're having fun and care is taken to avoid overexposure and frostbite (which these kids showed no signs of having), good for them.

"All naked, all the time." Really? [wags eyebrows]

Yes, but given that I'm referring to the children, you might want to reconsider the eyebrows. I'm just sayin'.

That was my take on it. I really thought the post was rather over-reacting - although it *is* a surprising sight, as I said. Still, we must also consider that it's Russia. If these kids can't be used to the Russian Vinter, what chance do they have?

No Thanks for the implication that I'm a pedophile.

That was really insulting, and I don't think I deserved it.

"I'm just sayin'."

I was teasing, and did not mean for it to sound insulting, because if I seriously thought you were a pedophile, we would be having a very different conversation. I'm sorry.

Sorry, I meant to write back sooner, but life goes on, stuff happens, and I just plain forgot until just now, and scanned back to find this. Apology accepted, and I'm sorry that I misinterpreted what you said.

Metaphorically shake hands?

Sure thing. I can understand why you got upset, it wasn't totally in good taste. *huggles*

Incidentally, that's totally *not* why I took you off the friends list - see the most recent entries for details. It's really nothing personal, my list was just completely out of hand.
