Mind that Battery

In amongst the grandchildren's toys were some helpful instructions about batteries, which are needed by so many of those toys. An A4 sheet, printed on both sides, told us how to use batteries in toys. Yes, TWO sides of an A4 sheet. OK, there were pictures and it was in 12 languages, but even so ...

I like, "Batteries should be replaced by an adult". Actually some children are probably better at this than their parents!


Of course, some (important) instructions can't easily be pictured, but that doesn't stop them. Like, "Remove dead batteries and all batteries from toys which are not going to be used for a long time ..."






Also, of course, "Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be re-charged". Actually, the clue is in the name "Non-rechargeable".

Well, I hope you've learned from this useful tuition. But I have to ask, "Are we really this stupid?"
