I was the younger brother. I was "willing" to do a lot of things I knew were bad ideas.

If the first child is intelligent and a competent designer, then the second child will be safe. There are no issues here. Just 2 children who trust each other.

competent designer

It's a child. How competent can a child be?

Intelligent and competent designers fail A LOT, but they keep trying to find a way to fail the least

If … that word carries a lot of weight with random children’s ideas

My sister told me I could fly after watching Peter Pan. I could not fly.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Sounds like you didn't believe you could fly.

They believed they could fly, and they touched the sky.

Unfortunately they then touched the ground and the ground touched back

The trick is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss

It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end.

The best way to teach gradients, explain the acceleration gradient across their mass as they hit the ground

Skill issue

Roof or bunk bed?

Got my brother off the bunk bed but mum caught us before he could try roof.

If you ever think you can fly: start from the ground.

Good advice for children and drunk people.

i always take off from the ground in flying dreams. It’s like jump…jump… Whoah!
