  • I was around this kid’s age when I was at a friend’s house for a sleep over and we decided to leave his house at 2 am and go downtown and see what was happening. We had big backpacks full of stuff because we were 10 and it was an adventure. Cops drove by and looked at us as they drove by and didn’t slow down. And the town was a whole hell of a lot bigger than the 370 population of this one. There were also a lot of people likely to be stumbling out of the downtown bars at 2 am, but I don’t remember anything other than the cops driving by and looking at us. Apparently Indiana cops back then didn’t think it was all that big a deal.

    But things have changed for kids since the 1980s and, in cases like this, not for the better.




  • Got it. Shrapnel is not a thing that happens when there are explosions. Weird, I always thought it was a thing and that when you’re in a crowd and the bomb planted on you explodes, that shrapnel goes into all the people around you. But they were probably terrorists too, am I right? After all, they exist in Lebanon and I’m told that existing in Palestine makes one a terrorist and it’s right nearby.

    But the important thing here is that you found a way to make light of dead children and turn it all into a joke. That really makes you look good.
