    When I was in 4th grade I thought the Bermuda triangle would be a way bigger problem for me than it actually turned out to be.

      Also, being on fire. The way they pushed, “stop, drop, and roll” so hard, I presumed that being on fire was a routine part of life.

        That one I think was basically a late response to all the ways folks used to kinda find themselves on fire.

        Advent and proliferation of gas stoves, cigarettes, and cool new “space-age” (hyper-flammable) building and textile materials. Probably lotsa extra reasons and compounding factors, too, frankly there was (and is) a lot to figure out lol.

        You might even have found yourself on fire back then, too!
