> "Don't go near the water! It's the sea monster," Jaw says, with a giant pouch on its back just for little kids. "If a child walks too close to the water, the monster will put you in his pouch, drag you down to the ocean and adopt you out to another family," "Then we don't need to yell at a child," Jaw says, "because she is already getting the message."

Quite friendly for me. The message is clear - you will never see us again.

I had a similar story for my year and a half boy: "Don't go on car pavement alone. It is dangerous!" "Cars move fast, hit hard, they may not notice children. If that happened you'll never see us again."

He wants an explanation. It helps to make his own judgment... sometimes unexpected like "Why such dangerous things allowed here?"

I hope someday it would remain only in fairy tales.
