The danger of a single mom dating

Growing up with a single mom who dated made the speaker realize that if those men had harmful intentions towards him, he would have been in great danger. Reflecting on the first man his mom dated, he humorously imagines the potential risks he could have faced. The speaker also contemplates the odd practice of keeping dangerous traps for protection at home, and amusingly ponders on the interactions with dolphins, including the juxtaposition of trainers being both entertainers and scientists.
