The Matron herself is never ever the dreaded Other Parent.
She wishes she could abandon Scarlett and not accompany her to the shooting location, conveniently located forty miles out in the middle of the always alarming nature.

Oh, the commercial? Explore Minnesota - the state department of tourism desperately trying to convince you that anywhere OUTSIDE in Minnesota is fun.
Don't believe them.

Oh Mary - I know the mosquitoe count goes up as you move out of the metro area, but really, the bobcat count doesn't rise *that* alarmingly (see "man defends geese from bobcat" on KARE11 last night. - or, maybe you shouldn't).

Hey, I happen to like outside, I walk in it every day. OK, often just back and forth from my car to the store, but still. But there is air out there, and breeze and sunshine - why just yesterday I was out there and there was water under our boat and everything. Pretty nice.
I suspect you encountered nothing more alarming than dragonflies (harmless), the occasional bee or wasp (harmless unless threatened), and mosquitoes (deadly). Where I live, only 75 miles away, we must contend with bears...
I want to hear about the convo with the Other Parent.
And more in general. Cool!
I'm beholding the irony of a daughter of yours being a spokes-Scarlett for The Great Outdoors.
And laughing my ass off at you, honey.
The Great Outdoors can be very alarming, the bugs alone are scary enough to chase me back to the suburbs.
