Carl’s Jr. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
My husband, a middle school history teacher, asked his seventh grade class this question on a test: Should people be allowed to carry guns, and why? One enlightened student responded like so:
“No, I don’t think people should carry guns around when they go to public places. A mass murderer could carry a gun right into Carl’s Junior, kill all the workers, and take all the food. And now that’s just unfair.”
Not quite on target.
I never know whether to be enlightened or scared by what kids say. Great post today though, I love seeing a new blog post, it’s always a great read!

I don’t know whether to laugh out loud or cry at the ignorance.. Kids are something else!

I wasn’t quite sure how to react at first, either. I opted for laughter because it’s happier. He’s young, at least. There’s still hope!

I think the kid meant it to be sad for both the dead workers and the no food.

That is highly likely, but the effect is still funny.

Who can argue with that logic?
