adult supervision

Dylan,

Someday when you want to ride your bicycle around the block by yourself for the first time, or walk to school- alone, or to see a movie of your own choosing with friends I've never met, and you say to me something like: "Dad, I think I'm ready for a little more independence...", I'm going to remind you of the day I left you to your own devices for three minutes and you managed to find and eat an *entire pile* of detritus, debris, and dust bunnies Mommy had conveniently swept into a pile but waited for a more convenient time to vacuum up.

Then what are you gonna say?

Dad
