Because saying for the thousandth time, "Oh he's very friendly, he won't bite," to the sobbing child who is climbing up his mother's leg is missing the point entirely.
Welcome to my world. Not my child's world... mine.

All the kids who had sleepover parties in K-3ish were the kids who were smarter and/or more mature than their parents. Extrapolate at will......
