I imagined what could go wrong if one of them missed a step; the image was horrifying. My son's friend, let's call him Liam, was perched on top of the rails that surround the balcony, waving at an imaginary crowd below. I unceremoniously called off that day's play date, asking the friend to go back home until further notice. In my little understanding of parenting, a child should be cautioned right when and where the mistake is so that he relates it to a wrong. The lawsuit too never materialized, hopefully because the woman realised she was being a buffoon and rescinded her decision.
