Because Some People Have Meat in Them

Dec 19, 2007 - 13:04 PM PST
So, I just had a serious talk with my son about threats and what is absolutely inappropriate. For some reason, Danny my 5 yr old has figured out that threatening to kill someone gets a big reaction, so he gladly uses it on Jacob, my 4 yr old.



Jacob: "Mamaaaaaa, Danny has a knife and he told me he was going to kill me!"
Me: "WHAT?!!! DANIEL ABRAM GET IN HERE NOW...!!!"
Jacob: " Mom, sometimes people have meat in them..."

Five and four year olds don't understand the depth of all of this. We dont watch any television other than PBS for this reason. Normal TV has so much adult matter, there is no way my kids can understand and separate it.

"Mom, what is a 'count of sodomy'? Is that like the count on Sesame Street?"

I picked up my camera and talked to Jacob about what it means to him to die and the subject. Hopefully someone will find the footage useful for their own kids. But I really do feel that parents have become out of touch with their kids. Kids have become numb to pain and hurt- they havent had empathy instilled in them and they dont connect with others.

I'm not saying all kids who go on a shooting rampage had parents that failed them- but this is a growing epidemic- one I plan to nip in the bud in my household.
