[Lee]:
Agreed, and I know a lot of adults who would probably react like Fred and
George, et al.  This is personal; this is family who's hurt and the first
thing one would probably want to do is be with that loved person.

Look, IMO, I don't care how much experience and such a person may have, but
when we're talking about someone really close, all that detachment can fly
out the proverbial window; the instinct to get to the hurt one is alive and
well.  If that's considered childish, well,  perhaps, then, I'd never work
out in the order, either...and I'm no kid. :-)

Cheers,

Lee :-)
