“The best thing about Sassy Seats is that grandmothers cannot figure out how they work and are in constant fear of the child's falling.

Some grandmothers will spend an entire meal peering beneath the table and saying, "Is that thing steady?" rather than, "Have you had a doctor look at that left hand?” LooksChildrenStillsHandsFallLeftForgetTalkingFiguresDevelopmentAspectDoctorsTablesConstantBest ThingsMealsSeatsGrandmotherCommentSteadySassyDiapersLeft Hand Book:Living Out Loud Source: Living Out Loud
