I grew up in South Florida, where the sport Jai Alai is played a lot. When I was in kindergarten, they passed out subscription cards for Highlights for Kids magazine, and I was totally scandalized that they would sign kids up for such a dangerous sport. I told everyone who would listen that Highlights was too dangerous for children.
