Parenting epiphany

You know, I realized something the other day. My parents always used to yell out, "Stop that, someone's gonna get hurt!". I always thought that meant that whatever we were doing was dangerous. In reality, they were just playing the odds. Eventually, yes, someone sometimes get hurt. :)

Along those lines, it was usually some kind of rough housing. Some of my fondest memories are from rough housing with my dad, playing horse, trying to avoid being pinned, just messin' around and laughing. And yes, someone, sometimes got hurt. But hey, how much in life has reward without any risk.

To me, the fun is worth taking a few lumps. :)
