Layah, you are right that the dangerous things were not good. I'd never want to go back to riding without a seat belt, for example.

Meanwhile, here is the schedule for a recent Sunday as lived by a friend of mine and her seven-year-old daughter:

7 am - soccer game
10 am - church
11 am - lunch with my husband. The little girl announced she was invisible, and he made a big deal of it. "A chocolate chip just disappeared off that pancake! Who took it?"
12 - go to movie theater, watch a movie too violent for the kid
2 pm - basketball practice
7 pm - basketball game

I bet the best part of the day for her was when he paid attention to her "invisibility."

This would not be the life for me.
