Last night Victor asked me to tell him the story of Little Red Riding Hood. I can't remember the Grimm details, so my version is mostly from Into the Woods.
"The wolf liked to eat little girls," I said.
"But not boys," Victor interjected.
"No, not boys," risk-averse me replied.
Victor then explained that a wolf would not eat him because he would throw a stick and the wolf would chase it. Then the wolf would be wherever the stick was, i.e. not near Victor.
It was like those Sunday School lessons that urge you to decide now how you'll respond to temptation, but more focused on physical safety.
