Big Questions
I was watching this with Lola tonight--Are You Afraid of the Dark episode Jake the Snake, wherein one boy risks his life to save his friend. This got Lo thinking:
Lo: Would you do that?
TR: What? Go into that basement with those snake men?
Lo: Risk your life to save a friend.
TR: If it were someone I loved.
Lo: A friend you loved? Like who?
TR: Like Kathy, Josie....
Lo: You would actually risk your life?
TR: I mean, if there was a chance I could save them and we'd both survive.
Lo: What if there was no way you'd survive? Would you save them?
TR: Nope.
Lo: Nice.
TR: I have kids who need me.
Lo: What if you were a hundred and it was a kid, like a seven-year-old, and there was no way you could survive? Would you save the kid?
TR: Yeah, I think so.
Lo: You should. The kid would have its whole life to live and you'd be about to die anyway.

I'm glad that you'd try to save me, but also think the risk assessment is a good idea. No point in us both not making it. I would do the same. I think. I hope it's never put to the test, but wouldn't that suck if I turned out to be a total coward? If so, I'd die of guilt & shame anyway (or live a long life tortured by guilt & shame).
One plus of not having kids - I've never seen an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark. I think it may be worse than the snake pit.
That sounds reasonable.
