“Whoa!” Jake exclaimed, ran to the tree, and swiped two fingers over the purple goo covering the base of the tree. He gave it a whiff before but as he was about give a taste, his sister, Jackie, pinched her face, and said, “Eww!”
Playfully, he shoved his fingers at her, “What? You don’t want to taste alien goo?”
Jackie batted his fingers away, “What if it’s poisonous? I don’t get why you boys put everything in your mouths before thinking. That stuff might kill you.”
Pretending to ponder, Jake laughed, “How else would we learn, if not by taste?”

In my experience with rearing my own three boys, they don’t stop to consider consequences.It’s rarely fatal, though, and they do have lots of fun 🙂

In my experience, it seems like that’s what boys do.
