This is a great reminder for parents to watch out for mirrors at stores, your YMCA, etc. My daughter is an assistant dance teacher (she is 13, but helps out teaching the small kids.) At the beginning of class one day, one of the kids was playing around the mirrors that go floor to ceiling and all the way across one wall of the dance studio and the whole wall of mirrors came crashing down. One little girl had a scratched and bruised back, but other than that, no one else was injured. It terrified my daughter as she saw it happen but could do nothing about it. Since then, I am very conscience of mirrors. We were very blessed that no one was seriously injured.

Well, this has made so much of an impact on me that today at work, we have mirrors, I began my campaign of warning adults about the mirrors and their children. There have been times when parents allow their kids to actually bang on the mirrors. So another new rule to enforce.
