Taking my wife up for the first time

Most would say that it is a good thing to not use words like "dangerous"
while in the plane, until there is a ongoing, real time situation. Other
things can be said to get the point across, without fear. Like, "There is
a
lot going on in the pattern, so I will be at my peak concentration, and
not
interacting with you very much." Much more confidence inspiring. :-) Use
the positive, and not the negative.

Yeah that's what I told her, I didn't use the word dangerous: I told her
that in the pattern things get VERY busy and I need to talk on the radio
frequently and listen to it.

Also: my briefings to my wife are done on the ground. Not in the air. By the
time we are up I don't want to have to explain too much. She should already
know the basics she needs to know for that flight.

The word "Dangerous" related to a pattern is only in my head.
