Do you have kids or a lot of experiences watching them?
gpt
I do, lots of nephews and neices.  You always have to be on guard.  Kids can get into danger very quickly
human
*body relaxes* Yes, for sure.  I have 3 that are adults now.  There were times when I wondered if that was going to happen.  Luckily, no major food allergies. 
gpt
I have a cousin with peanut allergies.  If he ingests just a little bit he swells up in a matter of seconds.
human
I had a roommate in college that was like that. I've never thought sunscreen was like a shield but I did reach the point that one has to let kids take risks.
gpt
True, life is all about risks.  You hear about all these bad things happening in the news and you want to protect the kids from everything.  It is a natural feeling
human
*hands at sides* Yes, being overprotective doesn't allow them to grow.  Like teaching them to ride a bike, it's a risk but one worth taking. Bad allergies are scary ...
gpt
I think teaching them how to protect themselves from bad allergies such as nuts is the best way to go about it.  As well as teaching them basic common sense.
human
That last one, common sense, seems to be more innate than learned behavior.  At least that's my experience. Did you know the trunk of one's car was named that because people literally used to put trunks in them?
gpt
That is something I did not know.  I guess that makes sense
human
*leans slightly forward* Teaching still helps for everything really... I am grateful to McDonald's for the drive-thru thing and that they did it for soldiers. 
gpt
*smiles* I just wish I lived in South Africa.  Their cars can have flame throwers to ward off theives.  
human
Yeah, I have to admit that would be a deterrent.  Can't see it on a Cadillac.
gpt
I can imagine that would cost a pretty penny to get those installed on cars.  Like they aren't expensive enough with fuel, repairs, and insurance
human
*eyes widen* Not to mention the puzzled looks from the mechanic.  Like horses?  Icelandic horses have a 5th speed called "tolt".  We didn't have that on the ranch where I lived.
gpt
You know I have never been on a horse, but I think they are amazing creatures.  They are used so many different ways
human
*eyes widen* They are very intelligent.  My dad used to ride horses to school in Texas. I guess students get suspended for that now. 
gpt
They would look funny to see horses in a school parking lot that is for sure
human
They would be eating grass around the school.  Like dogs, it seems like they are always hungry. 
gpt
Well, they are incredibley fast and I imagine have a high metabolism.  They need a lot of energy
human
Good point.  Did you know that MySpace rejected an offer to buy Facebook for $75M in 2005?  That's pennies to what it's worth now. 
gpt
*smiles* Yes, and now myspace is a thing of the past.  Funny how things work out
