That only works on kids who’ve yet to experience their first bridge jump, frankly. As soon as I found out how to do it properly, that adage was as hollow & out-of-touch as “finish your plate”, “boys’ll be boys”, “do as I say”, et al.
I went cliff jumping in my youth as well lol. But honestly being a smart ass I still always defsulted to “Well theyre probably jumping for good reason, so yes?”
I used to roll my eyes at the classic parental “if your friends jumped off a bridge would you jump too?” and how obviously stupid the idea was.
Used to.
