DEAR ABBY: Can you stand one more comment concerning "unattended" children?
I was co-owner of an antique store. My partners and I decided to put up a sign that read, "All Unattended Children Will Be Given a Free Kitten."
Abby, the look of panic on the parents' faces was priceless! We had some tiny fabric kittens that we gave the children who wanted one -– and we got a lot of laughs from it. –- FAITHFUL READER, SMALL TOWN, TEXAS
DEAR FAITHFUL READER: I think you came up with a purr-fect solution, and it's certainly friendlier than the sign other readers reported: "Unattended Children Will Be Sold as Slaves."
