Ooh, good one. Thought you were headed for a gracious acknowledgement that you don't know it all, but you took a nice turn to superior sarcasm at the end, with an equally nice little knife in my back, given the comment to which you were responding. After all, if you can watch four kids without a tragedy happening then no tragedy should ever happen to anyone who's just paying attention like they should be. So that time one of my grandkids wandered off: I guess I wasn't watching over them, in the world according to your common sense? That is your implication, so just say it outright: there's no way a kid can wander off if the adult in charge is at all competent: therefore, I was being an inattentive grandparent.

Dude, there's only one reason I'm cutting you any slack at all over this.
