Res ventured down into the mysterious “basement” room today. He had some issues getting back up and needed help. Then he came down a second time and tried to avoid the steps (by jumping down them), I caught him before he made it to far and made him walk the rest of the way.
Res: But Dad, Angel Ranger used to do it!
Me: No, Ranger did not jump down them, Ranger jumped up them, and Ranger had skill!
Res: I have skill too…..
Me: How about you prove you can walk them first?
Res: Walking them is over-rated. Jumping is more fun.
Me: NO!!!! You do not pay your own vet bills.
