Mum (I assume): What if someone grabs you? What if someone grabs you and takes you away and kills you? What are you going to do then, huh? What are you going to do then?
Very young voice: I dunno.
Mum: Exactly. That's my point.
This is the kind of thing that does not work on older kids. They answer back, quite sensibly, "I'll be dead, Mum. I won't be doing anything -- duuhhhhhh!"
