Yup. That kind of advice.

It's the useless kind of advice that dumb mommy's love to give.

I don't call it useless advice depending where you are. I have had a
mouse in the bottom of my boot more than once on the farm, and
scorpians in my shoes several times in Africa.

My sister keeps sending me these hoaxes to watch out for razor blades in my
kids halloween candy and to watch out for people selling cookies, etc.

There's a certain kind of person (most of those in the California Assembly,
in fact) who feel they need to be a nanny to everyone.
