I was an only child so I had to do both.
You're still here so, good job! 👍
That is how it do be sometimes.
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.
competent designer
It's a child. How competent can a child be?
My sister told me I could fly after watching Peter Pan. I could not fly.
Skill issue
Sounds like you didn't believe you could fly.

They believed they could fly, and they touched the sky.
Unfortunately they then touched the ground and the ground touched back
The trick is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss

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.
i always take off from the ground in flying dreams. It’s like jump…jump… Whoah!

I was the younger brother. I was "willing" to do a lot of things I knew were bad ideas.
My younger brother tried out all of my inventions. He was "willing", which really meant he never knew what I was asking him to do until it was too late.
I definitely remember hearing "Here put this helmet and [thick] jacket on"... "Stay there and wait" etc
