Let's play a new game

In light of a recent incident, we've had several conversations with Uno and Dos about the necessity of sticking with one's parents (or other caretaker, if they're hanging out with aunts or grandparents or other responsible, trustworthy people). They have been told that while most strangers are probably good people, you never know which ones are the bad ones because they don't all look like bad guys. That's why we don't talk to or (heaven forbid) ever go anywhere with someone we don't know.

So. Strangers are on the brain lately. A week or so ago, I heard the girls playing together in the living room:

UNO: Hey Dos, let's play a new game. I'll be a stranger.

DOS: But we can't talk to strangers!

UNO: No, no, no, hang on. I'm a good stranger. See? I have candy! If you come play with me, I'll give you some!

DOS: Okay! Let's go!

Fabulous. I can see we're going to have to go over this concept again....
