Birds on the wire

I was driving along near my house and my son Ruben was in the car with me. Ruben is 5. He pointed up at some of those cables that go from telegraph post to telegraph post and asked me what they were. So I said that they were there so that people could make telephone calls. Ruben didn’t say anything but pointed to some birds that were sitting on the wire. He looked back at me and said but Daddy won’t the people fall off?
