Older People Know The Dangers

By -
I took my six year old and four year old daughters for a walk today. It was a lovely +4 Celsius outside today.

They both fell multiple times, usually from ice, even after I warned them to be careful.
I (thankfully) didn't fall once.

The difference? I've taken the falls and now know the dangers. 

The older you get the more you've seen how people get hurt. You learn the dangers.
So if someone older is giving you advice or warning you of something, you may want to listen. They may save you some hurt.
