On the way to VBS this morning we were both incredibly tired, and I was in an odd mood from having to deal with small children who were managing to stretch my pretty good amount of patience to its breaking point. Due to this, our conversation drifted to weirder areas than it normally does. We started talking about how despite the fact that kids can misbehave and be ridiculously hard to handle, I've yet to meet a kid that I would call a bad kid. I'm sure other's might call them bad, but I don't think kids can actually be bad. Then our conversation went something like this.
Nathan: So, what would you have done if you met 10-year-old Hitler?
Me: Was Hitler killing Jews at age ten?
Nathan: Yes, you watched him kill his first one.
Me: Honestly? I would be really freaked out at what his home life and what his parents were like. Actually, that's another thing. I would probably just go up to him and ask, "Now, where are your parents?" (said in a sort of stern voice emphasizing each word).
Yes, these are the things my brother and I talk about. I was going to explain in detail the other conversation we just had, but I feel like that deserves its own post. So look forward to that tomorrow! It will even have its own diagram.
And I apologize for the large amount political incorrectness of his post, but it was early this morning and this week has driven me a little crazy.
As a side note, according to wikipedia the whole "Hitler was part Jewish" thing is actually a myth (although it was generally believed until the 1990s). Apparently, Hitler's father was an illegitimate child of a woman who was working for a rich Jewish family, so it was guessed that someone in that family might have fathered Hitler's father. Except, no one can really prove one way or another. Hmmm. This kind of feels like the first time someone tells you that scientifically tomatoes aren't vegetables.
Diagrams FTW!!!
