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.

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

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

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

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

My younger brother tried out all of my inventions. He was "willing", which really meant he never knew what I was asking him to do until it was too late.

[-] GorGor@startrek.website 12 points 2 months ago

I definitely remember hearing "Here put this helmet and [thick] jacket on"... "Stay there and wait" etc

[-] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 18 points 2 months ago
