In the Wild, there are many things to learn about, and some of those lessons are not pleasant. Moms warn their Tots, but that does not control much, now or ever.
Fortunately, those same Moms are the ones who kiss the Tot, dry the eyes, and offer suggestions about not making the same mistake twice.
Some of their Tots actually listen. Sooner or later.
