Oddity

LETTER 'O'

ODDITY!

I came upon this picture and it leaped up from the page! 
A rather odd contraption from a very different age!
It was advertised as giving Baby plenty of fresh air
If the parents lived in a high rise and the child got in their hair!
Baby doesn't look too pleased as he dangles from a height.
What if they forget him and leave him there all night!!

A very different 'O' here:

    That is a strange "cage" for a child! Love your words as always, Brenda! Hope your week is going well!

    I don't have children and don't live in a high rise, but I doubt I would ever use one of those contraptions! What if it fell out of the window?

    I'm laughing, but the little kid is definitely not finding it a fun experience. Love the picture and your words, as always, are a great read!

    That's just too darn scary to me. I would be so afraid that something would happen. The kiddo looks that way too.
    Great post for O.

    Love the picture and your words, - the baby looks as apprehensive as I would be about being out in a cage.

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
    In an age of health & safety this would not be popular - judging by the expression I would think this child was destined for a job with the department! lol!

    Thanks so much for contributing

    Poor little devil. Reminds me of a thing I saw hanging on the side of Colchester castle about 40 feet up. A small cage, just about big enough for a ten year old. The guide told us a young man had been martyred in it.

    Of course, he didn't have a comfy blanket, and probably wasn't taken inside when it rained.
