I used to eat white rice and salt exclusively. Then, my grandma introduced me to pickles - that broke the spell of white rice and salt, and now I eat everything. Damn pickles!
I love playing Nerf war with my kids, but we have a rule of no head shots. I don't want to take the chance of hurting someone's eyes. Those Nerf bullets are soft, but they can still do perma-damage to eyes. That's just not worth it.
You're right: we often discount the danger of something that is so familiar.
Michael Lewis wrote about this in his audiobook The Coming Storm, which is all about the weather. I got it on a lark (when it was part of a free monthly download on Audible) and was actually quite pleasantly surprised at how good and informative it was.
We saw a movie there once, and it was fun! The kids loved it (my wife and I fell asleep).
Great find, btw! Thank you for submitting the post!
