Important matters

Overheard tonight, as my 7-year-old and his 11-year-old sister came across a television commercial for the new teen vampire movie:

Him:  “Why doesn’t he die? He’s a vampire. Vampires can’t be out in sunlight.”

Her:  “I don’t know. He just doesn’t.”

Him:  “Why not?”

Her:  “I don’t know. I know one way to kill them for sure. Rip them apart into pieces. They did that in the first movie.”

Him:  “Why don’t they use acid? That would work.”

Her:  No response.

Him:  “Why don’t they use acid?”

Her:  No response.

Him:  “EMMA!!!!! Why don’t they use acid?”

Her:  “I DON’T KNOW!!!!”

Later, he told me that he had “a plan to put an end to her diabolical ways.”
