This is the age where falling asleep in the car seat and waking up in Target is straight up sorcery and quantum physics.

Agreed. Should probably wait a few years before letting that baby drive.

He will remember fire hurts. But this isn't the way to introduce that lesson.

This child should be nowhere near fire.

You have no damn clue.

My two year old daughter very much knows, "stove hot. No touch." and repeats it nearly every time she's helping me cook.

We used some ASL sign language with our kids, before they could speak. It helped quite a bit. The usual stuff, appropriate to what they'd be experiencing. Milk, more, I love you, diaper...

We used "hot" to also mean "sharp" and just plain "dangerous", because babies aren't long on subtleties.
