It pissed me off when the inch lost his brand new, worn once, climbing harness but it never occurred to me to keep him back from climbing practice. Indentured servitude, yes, of course, but not having him skip practice.

Plus, in his defense there is strong evidence indicating his mother was actually the one who lost it. and if the kids require a shepherd or chaperone or other watcher it seems that they are ultimately responsible for the comings and goings of their charges.

By high school a simple, nagging, "Did you remember your gear?" ought to suffice, though.

I hope Hector feels better.
