On the road again

[valarltd]

Obi's all OVER the road.
He wiped out on his new bike. His knees, hands and arms have a bad case of road rash. He's OK, just very sore. Without a helmet, tho'... *Shudder*

The usual "Oh how did we ever survive" meme is going around. No seat belts, no bike helmets, no bee-sting kits, with the implication of "we survived and are turning our kis into wusses with our safety foolishness."

My answer is, as always, "enough of us DIDN'T that things changed." I'm glad they have.

I kinda like that meme, only because I think I've had more than my share of scrapes and skinned knees from a natural lack of balance. Why should kids today get to fall on spongy nerf playgrounds while I hit cold, rough concrete?

Then again, I despise children and do feel a small amount of glee at a *fall* *scream* that I don't have to deal with.

Frankly, I have my own scars. I'd rather my kids not have theirs that last 30 years.

And I'd rather not lose any to bee stings (mudd's side is highly allergic) or other avoidable crap
