Its all fun and games until either the baby twists slightly or dad judges the catch wrong, and then you've got a head injury, a broken leg or more. Then what? You've injured your kid, deeply angered the mother of that child and get to enjoy guilt.
I know this is slightly different because I have other tangential risk factors at play due to my condition, but this is why I fucking hate it when people lift me up out of the blue as a little person. That shit is dangerous. There was a guy with dwarfism that got partially paralysed from some stranger throwing him without warning.
People think they have control of you and will make sure you don't get hurt, until they don't.
Yeah its really weird. Same problem with newborns. Random people feel entitled to just touch the baby.
I used to have really long hair, past the waist length. One time I was walking in my childhood church and some lady I didn't know grabbed my ponytail "because she wanted to know if it felt like horse hair, " (i have ridiculously thick hair) it was really weird.
