Day 28: Don´t make me come up there and get you!

What parent, teacher or caregiver has ever said that to a kid and followed through? As if we´re going to climb up the tree, fence or streetlight the child has decided to perch on. 
on the far left. if you didn´t know they were there, you´d miss them.
Anyway, check out these four, perched precariously on the Puerta de Alcalá. We go by this monument at least weekly on the way to Super Guy´s play group (so far he hasn´t tried to climb up anything, but it´s only a matter of time before the monkey business begins).
Sobre la Puerta de Alcalá se alzan cuatro esculturas infantiles
i love the vain one on the far right. "check me out!"
The statues represent Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Strength. Prudence is the one with the mirror.

  1. I'm curious why prudence would receive a mirror! It's left me thinking why the artist chose this. Fascinating.
