Wow, this sure brought me back. We have all been there, I'm sure, and heavens 
knows parties offer the ideal situation for "attacks." You're walking in on a 
group of kids, usually on their home turf, where they do not feel exposed or 
threatened. Poor Jeff. My, my. Tsk, tsk. Thanks for sharing this item. 
Puppetry is definitely not for the squeamish. Of course I feel fairly able to 
deal, having a black belt in taekwondo and all. One wonders what form of 
protection would be adequate: Clause in contract holding parents liable for 
damage to theater/puppets? A restraining order? Security guard included in 
contract? Electrified fence? Fire hose?
Oh dear, oh goodness,
