LETTING THE KIDS PARENT THEMSELVES/HELIOTROPISM, PART 1

[Passing caregiving buck shamelessly to child.]

"Hey, buddy, did you remember to put on your mosquito stuff and the sunblock?"

[Child shrugs, looks vaguely guilty though it's not even his job.]

"Well, don't get sunburnt and don't get bit."

"Dad, he won't get bit because he can just scare the bug away but he can't scare away the sun."
