'Nother conversation.

Me:' Hey Nine Year Old, shall we get up to mischief when your parents go out tomorrow night?'

Nine Year Old: 'Yeah ! We're gunna burn the house down!'

Fast forward - tomorrow night.

Parents walking out door.

Door: 'Slam!'

Me yelling downstairs:'Hey Nine Year Old! Where are the matches?'

Nine Year Old: 'Nah, I don't want to burn the house down. I'm busy -watching a film.'

Killjoy.

Damn those Disney films. I have seen them suck the life, imagination, and ambition out of far too many children!

So, how 'bout that "Toy Story 3," eh?

Children are no fun these days. I keep telling mine to kick their grandparents and they refuse as well.

Mwa, you're obviously raising lovers, not fighters!
