Crucibles of safety

 A small but meaningful measure with courtesy stops allowed in the night.

When I was in highschool, I remember a scene where my dad asked the busdriver to stop a little, may be half mile after the busstop. It was in the night, so I can see why he would want that. I understand the bus driver's dilemma too if he has to stop at every such request.

Our parents want to keep us safe shuttling us between crucibles of safety.

It interesting how we learn about our world within those interactions.
