Seahorses! Forever!!

Hell yeah. Unicorn power!!!

Salty?

Sad is what it is. They're ridiculously popular. Why? Because that's what happens with fads . I'm probably one of very few teenage girls who have never had or worn a silly band. There stupid. That is all :)

I'm almost nearly sort of close to positive that it was a young boy 16>

It doesn't say how old the child is. Silly bands are popular with people well into their twenties.

That may sound stupid but my mother refers to me as her youngest or her younger daughter and I'm already in my twenties, so it doesn't mean a whole lot that she said her younger daughter left her silly bands in front of the fireplace.

I'm going to assume that if her child was that old, she wouldn't be stupid enough to leave thin plastic bands that close to a fireplace, but I realize there are some really stupid people out there.

There is also the possibility that she didn't mean to leave them there. I have set stuff down with the intention of picking back up and been distracted by stuff before. She may have had them in her hand or been wearing them and set them down without really thinking about it. That wasn't really my point anyway, I was just saying that perhaps her daughter is old enough to be alone near a fireplace and just did something without thinking.

Who says the OP left their daughter unsupervised?

That too, it doesn't say that the child was unsupervised. There are many children who still have both parents. The girl could have been home with her dad. She could have a nanny. Her grandparents could be living with them. There are a ton of possibilities.
