The interesting thing about this is, I have worked with a lot of kids over the years, in volunteer groups and through other situations. I’ve met a LOT of kids who wouldn’t think twice saying something like this, and we all sort of dismiss it. We think it’s just a morbid sense of humor, or desensitization to violence or something of that nature.

I said a lot of morbid things myself as a kid.

Quite a few readers asked, if Babs heard him say this, why didn’t she know he was messed up?

But I’ve heard kids say much weirder stuff every time they sit down at an X-box.

I don’t think people would leap to a conclusion that he’s going to be a serial killer based on this comment.

Thoughts? Am I wrong, here?
