Third graders are the best. Just barely on the cusp of having a clue.
Kid (out of NOWHERE): “Donald Trump is going to die, you know.”
Me: “Excuse me?”
Kid: “Because he’s getting us into a war, and then he’s going to go fight in the war and he’ll die on the battlefield.”
Me:
Kid: “What’s so funny?”
Me: “The idea of Trump going onto a battlefield and actually being willing to fight in a war he started. Who told you this anyway?”
Kid: “My nanny.”
Me: “Ah.”
Kid: “She’s Mexican.”
Me: “I see.”
(long silence)
Kid: “She’s REALLY excited for him to die.”
ROFL.
Of all the conversations your wards have had with you, this is the best.
