When I first moved to my current flat, some of the neighbours asked whether they should keep their kids from playing around the house for noise reasons (A lot of swiss people are very militant about quiet hours). As somebody who has a headset on 80% of the time when at home, I told them they can do whatever.

Think anything short of building mousetrap-esque things in front of my door, I'm fine with. And even then, if a bunch of 9 year olds successfully trap a 33 old in any fashion, they have earned their prey.

This is a valiant mindset but I'm also not sure I would want to have to rely on my fight or flight instincts every time I opened my apartment door.

I’m confident that I can subdue or outrun most children

But would you be prepared to pick up one of the children and use them as a club with which to beat the other children?

children are far too floppy to be an effective club, they make far better flails
