Spare the rod, spoil the child

[John V]

Oh well fuck me, why the fuck did I not think of building a fence
No I was not prepared to grab 5 kids by the hair.
I was however prepared to see every time a car was coming. This gave me enough time to see where each kid was and make whatever decision necesarry to make sure everyone would be safe. Every kid was safe. I had the littlest one in my arm. The other three were by the house (not enough time to run to the street and get hit)
And LeliBug was right next to me. I never in a million years would have guessed that she'd step out, but I was standing right next to her and I did have my attention on her.

Suppose this question was on a child safety quiz:

You are standing by the road with a 3-year-old and see a car approaching. What should you do?

A. Take the child's hand until the car is past.

B. Keep attention on the child, knowing that you can grab the child by the hair if it moves toward the car.
