Do some people think they're not looking because they are too lazy?! I just have to disagree with that. I think that in the privacy of their home, they have learned the truth.
I feel very, very sorry for them. If the same thing happened in my house, I feel like I would come out the doors swinging and shooting. I feel a ton of empathy here - I know they love their daughter, and now she has finally ripped her shorts in the worst possible way.
This gets me thinking of the times I have said to MY daughter, who is 27 and has a 6-year-old: "I will not babysit for you while you run around at night." Cindy probably has said the very same thing.
