Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
SOMEONE MUST HELP!
earworm for 2 days - Dreaming of you by Selena. Broken off only briefly by A Moment Like This by Kelly Clarkson.
SAVE ME!
a moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this
Some people search forever,
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this....
Some kids will come to you to ask for your support. Some will come to you because they're right and offended that they can't have it their way. Some will come to you because they've gotten hurt--either their body or their feelings.
Some will come to you just to hold your hand and look at you plaintively while everyone else goes beserk.
In fact, you may very well become the second most in-demand object on the plain.
Infinite kids implies infinite reactions.
I just broke a glass. Knocked it over on the counter and the shards sprayed themselves over the tiled floor and the carpet. Which meant, at the very least, vacuuming at very early in the morning.
I should also move the alcohol shelving where some fell, as well as take the alcohol off the shelving and wipe the whole deal down.
Or I could just take a shower and hope I remember to when I come home.
I have become addicted to freshly-squeezed OJ. Which is an expensive as fuck habit, especially when you finish each jug in a day. Each time cold symptoms become too palpable, I go grab some.
I swear it's cured me more than once, but it may be more pricey than the disease.
Jesse's right, it's the infinite number. Also, I think it really comes down to how old does a kid have to be in order to outrun you. Because with the toddlers, they only have the power to kill you if you feel responsible for them and want to try to take care of them, despite their mission to kill you. Otherwise, who cares if they run into the street/try to climb the fence/whatever, just get out of there. Don't be seduced by the cute.

If they're coming from infinite directions (or, well, all of them), then outrunning is less of a possibility. Well, evading them by outrunning them is.
Yeah! Where are they coming from? Where's the font of babies? The horizons? One point? Wherever you're not looking?
SAVE ME!
How about the Smallville theme song, then?
This question is a good repeat one... I mean, it's not silverware or serial comma, but still a good one.
My favorite repeat question involves Nutty, a squash court, and a cheetah.
so my second assumption is that Iris is doing my job for me.
we all assume that sometimes. her new nickname is 'management'.

Seriously, no. If you are surrounded by toddlers, especially if you are holding a toy that they all want, it does not matter if you feel responsible for them or not. Plus, there's the noise. And the chatter.
The start for a running list of ways that they could do it (aside from in the drawing room, with a candlestick):
Unless the infinite plain has a water source, then everybody dies of dehydration or asphyxiates if there isn't adequate ventilation.
It's possible I'm over thinking this.
I dunno Sox, I've been surrounded by toddlers on many occasion (like 20 or 30), and I'm fairly sure the main reason I stayed there, even when the whining and the biting started, was my own desire to be near them and care for them. I don't think they'd be an organized killing machine. But I bet 5 year olds could do it.
Burrell's tag is especially appropriate for this discussion.
