I did get punished. Harshly. For doing something that could get me killed.
I restate: I'll bet you didn't grow up where stepping outside barefoot could be a death sentence.

Why, it was always for a reason, JRandom. Every scoffer here will tell you that, right?
Your scary “outdoors” has no bearing on this discussion.
I grew up where it got 40 to 50 below with wind on a regular basis. Where sudden summer storms could spawn tornadoes.
Lots of ways to die. This was too far.
