Must Have Been A Beer or 12 Involved
I think it will work ok if he scoots it forward a few more inches.

Naio, I take your post on your very seriously. If we were at a campfire, I really doubt we would argue much on this subject. I do think no mater what you or I believe, there will be those that argue. I had two children.
I exposed them to as many things as I could, with those dangerous to them under supervision. At about age 4, I found my son playing with matches. I sit him and his sister (1 year older) in the driveway, with a big box of kitchen matches. I watched while they burned the matches and paper. The quit when my son burned his finger. Never an issue since then. I could go down a list of similar experiences. Sheltered, never, supervised, always.
My kids seldom did those things I did as a kid, their decision due to controlled/supervised exposure. Neither have ever been arrested, neither have a college degree, both buying there own home by age 23, and both managers in their professions. Guess they are no longer kids at 49 and 50 years of age. I am pleased to say, all four of my grand kids (10, 14, 27, & 28) are following in their parents foot steps.
