*sigh* Yeah, I did more than a few idiotic things when young -- and got caught once, with some rather serious repercussions -- and in fact still do an occasional one, so all I can do is only be (mildly) sympathetic when I hear about something like this. Actually, I'm kinda glad your nephew was injured (& very glad it wasn't serious) -- and hope he's learned an important lesson -- even if it's only "no more than two stories". Your family seems to tend towards intelligence, but sometimes it skips a generation, so in his case I can only hope for the best.
But I disagree with your "realization" that you are/were a fool -- sometimes acting foolishly, probably, but that's by no means the same thing.
