A recent conversation between PowerKid, The Eldest, and I:
Eldest: How come PowerKid, the Youngest (paraphrased) gets a band aid and I don't?
PowerDaddy: If you fall off your bike and scrape up your knee, I'll gladly give you a band aid.
Eldest: NOOOOOOOOO!
Eldest understands that when the costs of getting a band aid exceeds its benefits at the margin, band aids just ain't that fun.
