A minefield avoided

Discussion on the way home from soccer today:

A: I am glad we live in California.
Me: I am too.
A: Because nothing horrible ever happens in California.
Me: I think horrible things can happen anywhere, but I don't think you have to worry. I don't anticipate anything horrible popping up.
A: Horrible no good things can happen ANYWHERE?!
Me: I think so, but you don't need to worry.
A: Even in California? What kind of horrible things happen in California?
Me: let's not go there. There is no reason for you to worry.
A: Please tell me what could happen! Please!?
Me: What has got you so worked up? Why don't you tell me what you are worried about instead of me telling you what could happen.
A: Well, could an Giant come and destroy our town?
Me: No, I am pretty sure California is a Giant free zone.
A: Ok, could an invention with a giant whipping noodle come destroy the town?
Me: I am pretty sure we are safe from giant whipping noodles.
A: Could a flying robot army invade our town and make us slaves.
Me: I also think we are safe from flying robot armies.
A: Ok then. We are safe, so can I play with the neighbor?
Me: knock yourself out kid.
