Poor PenelopeI guess I'm different and don't find it funny at all.
Same here. Getting hit in the face with a car door isn't a typical childhood mishap. I think Kourt is great but you need to have your eyes on your kid at all times and the child should not be behind you.
I strongly believe in having help if you can afford it, but this is pathetic to see happen to a child when two adults responsible for her are within a foot of her.
It's not the end of the world, but could it have been prevented? Absolutely. The child did nothing to induce the accident (versus a kid being injured falling from a skateboard, tree, hockey, etc.).
It looked to me like the door was already open and Penelope walked into it. I guess my mother was absolutely pathetic the time when I was walking in front of her (not even a foot away!!!!!) and she opened a big heavy glass door to enter a store and it caught my big toenail and flipped it straight up. My only concern was would I still be able to go swimming. Of course that was back in the dark ages when we rode bikes without helmets, skated without gearing up like a pro hockey player and tumbled around in the back of station wagons. With helicopter parenting all the rage now, no wonder kids are such wimps these days.
