At 24, kids are a long way off for me. But when they do come to pass, my hope is that I can give them a childhood like the one I had: full of rocks, sticks, mud, and band-aids. Thank you for the reminder of how important that is to strive for.

just teach them safety, and figure out when you can trust them to keep safe.

Even 25 years ago, weirdos existed. As a ~10 year old, walking home one day, a stranger stopped his car, leaned out, and asked me to go get coffee with him.

Bizarre, what 10 year old drinks coffee?

I know, 10ish year old me just remembers him as an old guy (probably in his 40s).

Quite a small town as well.
