Southwest drifters are too stringy and overcooked.

oh man, I remember stealing condiments from the kitchen for some kind of similar purpose. Apparently kids think mustard and pickle juice have alchemical powers.

Death threats?

Meanwhile, in Hawaii, kids eat riceballs, spam musubi, and whatever kinds of sushi. It’s finger food, Japan figured that out centuries ago.

When I was a kid, maybe 5-years old, I ate a “poison” mushroom BECAUSE my siblings told me it was poison. I wasn’t trying to hurt myself. I wanted to see what would happen. So yeah, not a good grasp on permanent injury.

Yikes.

Man, that scene where Stabler gets all high and mighty and roughs up two 6 year old girls is going to KICK ASS.

That’s “Killerz,” not SVU but original L&O. Loosely based on a real case... that happened I think somewhere in Britain?

These girls weren’t all named Heather were they?

You stop thinking this way when small kids make you a sacrifice to the slenderman... :P

Our cat died when my daughter was 4. I let her touch him and then watch as we buried him in the back yard and had a little funeral for him. She was so confused. She kept asking if he would come back. Even now at almost 6, she sometimes asks where he is and what happened to him. The permanence of death is really a…

I plotted with a friend to pour scalding soup on a classmate in kindergarten, because I wanted to steal his girlfriend. I think it’s just difficult to understand long term repercussions at that age. If sociopathy has to do with not being able to emphasize or care about others, that seems like it would include pretty…

Would beat my kids ass. Hard.

“...first-graders probably don’t have a strong concept about what it means to permanently harm another person, though?”

So I was going to say, “Wow that’s crazy. That’s about the age of my little girl, and I can’t even imagine!”

My response to the headline was — first grade? Third grade girls I can totally see this, but first grade seems a bit young.

I definitely did not see this in first grade. We were all still trying to figure out which sneaker toe got the “L” and which one got the “R” then. Well, I was one of the ones who had that down, but you get the picture.

I don’t think at this age they understand how permanent death is. They probably think you go to heaven and ride unicorns and eat candy all day. Also: I’m never having kids.

Damn, I didn’t want to kill any of my classmates until the 9th grade.

They say that kids who harm animals are budding sociopaths.. what about kids that try to harm other kids? I’m curious.
