Heh heh..
I do love these conversations.
It reminds me of when I played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid, and my parents were terrified that I might suddenly jump out of my bedroom window thinking I could fly.
The Fools! I thought.
First of all I was a seven year old with an active imagination, I wasn’t STUPID. It’s not like I was scoffing hallucinogenic mushrooms...
Secondly, we lived in a bungalow. If I had launched myself out of the dormer window I’d have slid a few feet and then dropped safely onto the driveway. With a bit of effort I could probably have landed on the caravan.
Thirdly, I don’t like heights so flying didn’t appeal anyway.
Fourthly, when I cast the “Magic Missile” spell in D&D I expected my character to blow away the side of a mountain taking a few thousand orcs with it. It was ONE poxy magic arrow, and an imaginary one at that. My expectations of the effectiveness of the flight spell would’ve similarly lowered by the practise run.
