Wife and I, with our two preschool girls were picking berries in a narrow valley.  some black bears were on the other side of the valley.  They would take turns standing up and watching us.  Wife says "What do we do if they come towards us?"  I replied "We run."  Wife says "We can't outrun those bears."  I said "We don't have to outrun those bears, we just have to outrun these two," while pointing at the kids.  Wife and I giggled, then the littlest one looked at the bears, then at me, and stuck out her lower lip, saying "I don't think that's funny at all."  Which just made us giggle even more.  We then moved off to a safer distance.
