This is 34 year old Patrick tying a double knot with his cloak.

On a downhill hike my brother-in-law accidentally dislodged a small rock which began hurtling downhill towards the family dog. He yelled, “Dolly!” and just as she looked up the rock hit her. He tried but couldn’t explain it to her, and it was clear she never fully trusted him again. A similar thing happened with my 1.5 year old nephew in a restaurant—who bit into a hot pepper halfway through a meal. He logically deduced that at any random point a meal could turn hot, and no amount of explanation could alter his conviction. For the next year he would stop eating at frequent intervals to ask, “Hot?” and only continue when reassured.

We’ve been teaching him that ceramic is “glass,” so I guess he’s right. Apollo’s 2 years old in this video.
