captain_slinky"Old Age" is trying to strike a perfect balance between "Well WE did that ALL THE TIME when WE were kids, and we all turned out just FINE" and "Oh no... ANOTHER of my friends has Cancer / had another Heart Attack".
Filling up the little pool we got for Molly today, and I was tempted to drink from the hose but then remembered something about the sunshine heating the hose and releasing some sort of evil carcinogen or other poison, but then I thought "Well we did it all the time when I was a kid and we all turned out just fine!" followed by "Whoa... maybe that's one of the reasons people get Cancer?"
Need to strike a balance between informed and bull-headed, I guess...
