I'm going to call this series #ParentPhD

"Do we go in the shop?": Risk assessment of toddlers at the intersection of hunger-induced irritation and the innate urge to acquire unnecessary things

#parenting

Every time we read animal books with the kiddo, we have to discuss whether each animal can or cannot be petted and why.

It is a surprisingly complex question.

My new dissertation title therefore shall be: "Pet-pet okay?: The ethics and logistics of petting animals at the intersection of physical danger, legal obligations, animal bodily autonomy, geographic distance, and disease vectors."

Edit: my spouse will be Reviewer No. 2
