You know a really easy way to be careful here?  Don't eat paint.

Don't eat paint? 

Why didn't you tell me this before dinner you jerk?!!?!

Yes, I think it is primarily focused on whether the boys will be licking the neckerchief slides or not.  If they are prone to lick the slides, it should probably be a top priority to return them.  Unfortunately for a boy that sticks them in his mouth, the paint may be all gone already.

You say that like there are Boy Scouts who *don’t* lick their neckerchief slides.

I suppose next you’ll be trying to tell me there are teenaged boys who *don’t* get drunk and grope random girls.

I think we live in different worlds.  I've never seen any boy lick their slides.

Neither have I, but that's how the lead in paint can get into someone's system (ingestion).

I'm well aware that's the problem.  But I cannot fathom why someone would eat paint.  I know it happens.  But I personally have never known anyone who does that.  I think it would be easier to tell people to not eat/lick paint than it would be to recall a million items from all points in the country.

Leaded paint? Really?

1940 called, and they want their paint back.

China.  They confiscated all the 1940s paint so they could use it long after everyone stopped making a fuss.

So, there's this kid in my child's 4th-5th grade class who chews on anything.  His parents send him to school with a chew toy but that doesn't stop him from trying to chew pencils, crayons, textbooks, tables, chairs... it was the weirdest thing.

Just paint, right?
