Darwin Awards

I don't usually use these internet addages but OMG, if I ever saw a perfect candidate for a Darwin award it was the parent of two children on the green outside work at lunch time. Let me explain, there where two children, a toddler of about 18 months, maybe 2 years old and an older sibling about 3-4 years old. Now the younger one has a plastic cricket ball the older one has a wooden full size cricket bat. The younger one is trying to throw the ball so that the older one can hit it with the bat, but she's not throwing it hard enough and it's not reaching her brother. So the mother tells her to move closer to her brother. Can you see what's going to happen?
The younger one moves to within a metre of her brother and throws the ball as hard as she can, he swings the bat and clobbers his sister in the ribcage.

I really think there should be some kind of test that people have to go through before they are allowed to breed.
