If the first child is intelligent and a competent designer, then the second child will be safe. There are no issues here. Just 2 children who trust each other.

My sister told me I could fly after watching Peter Pan. I could not fly.

Unfortunately they then touched the ground and the ground touched back

The best way to teach gradients, explain the acceleration gradient across their mass as they hit the ground

Roof or bunk bed?

Got my brother off the bunk bed but mum caught us before he could try roof.

If you ever think you can fly: start from the ground.

Good advice for children and drunk people.

Intelligent and competent designers fail A LOT, but they keep trying to find a way to fail the least
