Narrative:
On 2 flts, a young passenger expressed unusual interest in cockpit activities. Passenger was invited to situation in jump seat for preflight and taxi out. With aircraft stopped, passenger returned to seat prior to takeoff. I probably should not have done this, causing concern to first flight attendant, e.g., passenger had received safety briefing on another leg, but did not receive takeoff briefing for this leg. (The other flight was jul/xx/93 taxiing out from mht.) while good for public relations, this action will not be continued by me.
