When I was 6, my mother and I accepted a ride home from the park. I was very reluctant. I told my mother that she might not know, but I had learned in school that one should not accept rides from strangers.
Another anecdote of very young children being able to internalize and comprehend rules.
You did go along for the ride right because you trusted your mother's judgement. All else being equal I would say you where better off with your default position being not taking rides from strangers and not listening to their arguments.
Remember I was only talking about superior minds one dosen't fully trust. In that case you fully trusted your mother and it was best that you outsourced the judgement call to her.
