Yes, and that poor third grader will never, ever live it down whether it turns out they're really positive or not.

Yeah, that family needs to move far far away and change their name.....I feel bad for 'em though 'cause I bet the kid was just demonstrating or "trying to help" as opposed to "kill 'em all."

If she was trying to kill 'em, she was really, really bad at it. She needs a few lessons in more efficient methods of carnage. Or maybe she was just trying to be subtle or gradual....

*snork* Only you would bring up that aspect of it....

It's what I do.

Of course, I think that there aren't many third-graders for whom subtlety was an option. I might've been, had I ever endured it....

Actually, what I find amusing is after years of howling about shared-needle AIDS transmission like it happens EVERY. SINGLE. TIME you share a needle, they're frantically quoting soothing "1 in 300" statistics on this case...
