Curbs Cause Flat Tires?

The other day I was driving with my daughter and we started talking about flat tires. the conversation started by my asking if she knew how to change a flat. Of course she didn’t so I tried to explain it to her. She eventually asked me about how people got flat tires. So I rattled off the list : nail, leaky valve, hitting the curb. It was at this point that she stopped me and asked, “you can get a flat by hitting the curb?” I told her how the curb would rip open the side of the tire. At which point she said, “oh, I better be more careful.”

What could she be thinking?
