Play Date Waiver

My house (namely my toddler) has become so dangerous, that I sometimes feel I need to hand out waivers when friends bring their children over, especially younger, sweeter children. So, what do you think about this? Seem fair?

Child's Name ____________________
Parent's Name _________________________

I, the undersigned, am the parent of the above named child/children and I agree, in visiting Jude's home for a play date, to release and hold harmless Jude and his entire family, from any and all claims, suits, and charges, in connection with or arising out of play time with Jude, including, but not limited to:

bodily harm or injury to my child(ren) caused by attacking dinosaurs, flying trains, or ramming machines; other harm caused by biting, hitting, throwing, pinching, kicking, jumping, pushing, spitting, lifting, or stomping and any hearing damage caused by unusually high levels of screaming or yelling. I understand that Jude does not favor "sharing" his toys and may react violently when one is taken, even if that person is an infant.

I also understand and accept that any socks, food, or plush toys that I choose to leave on the floor or on a low table surface may be taken by Jude's dog, Maggie, and subsequently slobbered on and/or destroyed.

I assume full responsibility for any cleaning bills ensued by the layer of white dog hairs that may appear on my clothing after visiting Jude's house and any dark spots left by dog slobber in the event that Maggie drinks and chooses to clean herself on my pants.

I do not expect Jude's house to be clean, orderly, or in any way "neat." I also realize that the kitchen is off limits unless I want to cause an avalanche of dishes.

I will not hold Jude's family responsible if this play date is in no way fun or productive and/or if I am not able to hear myself think and leave with a pounding head ache.
