Hello, fellow travelers! Today we'll take a look into the mind of people who do silly things. And for our first example, lets peer into the mind of this woman from Stamford, Connecticut. Now before we take our peek, you need to understand that Stamford is a very expensive place to live and work.

This woman has a two-year old son, who cut himself at the playground, running toward a treehouse and cutting himself on a railing. His cut required stitches. Oh how sad, you are thinking. The operative word here is "himself," as no one pushed or otherwise caused the toddler to hear toward the rail at two-year old speed.

The mother, who we will visit the mind of, is now suing the City of Stamford for lost wages and other compensation from the city. This child must be very intelligent, as it is he who is the object of the suit, in other words, his lost wages. You see, he is a model and an actor, at the age of two.

The mother charges that the accident should have been preventable by painting the railing a different color. Hmm, since many thousands of dollars are at stake here, is that realistic? How about keeping watch over her son so he wouldn't do such a thing himself.

On second thought, lets not visit the mind of that woman. Let her have her day in court. And maybe she'll have enough money for a nanny, that can watch her child a bit better than she.

Or not.
