Interesting conversation with my daughter last night

Last night me, my wife and my daughter went to the grocery store. My daughter and I usually let my wife do her thing by herself cause she takes way tooooooo long and drool and ooze starts coming out of me and my daughters mouth and ears just waiting for her. :)

So we start talking about her day and she made a comment about her best friend saying "Guns are evil". Ok so her friend is only 7 but geeeeze! Who the heck is brainwashing her thoughts? Ok it's the tv news, newspapers, stupid politicians, idiot movie producers, emty minded talk show hosts, sheeple teachers and sheeple parents.

So I'm thinking "Great!" (sarcastically and not out loud)now my daughter is going to think the same thing! Usually if her friend wants a burger she'll order a burger also. I always thought she was a follower not a stand against the majority kinda kid. I keep telling her it's cool to be yourself. I say "You don't have to be anybody else except yourself."

So fearfully I ask her, "So, what did you say?" She replies, "I told her naw-uh how can a gun be evil?!? It has no soul. It can be evil unless it has a soul. A car can't be evil. A chair can't be evil. How can a gun be evil?"

I asked her, "What did your friend say?" She said, "She just said 'well'".

I was pretty happy. Bought her a lollipop, heck I would have bought her the whole dang lollipop stand but she's got this thing for going to the dentist and him finding new cavities that just seem to cost a lot of money.

Thought I'd share with y'all.

Sounds like a smart young lady to me.
I hope your shirt suddenly got too tight across the chest, if it didnt...it should have. :)

Ross,your post almost made me misty. I bet you were sticking your chest out after that,cause you know you had an influence. What your daughter said is so simple,yet probably one of the most profound statements that can be made about the gun argument. Great stuff!!!!!! PJ
 
Ross, as a dad you're doing a great job as evidenced by your bright child. Gawd bless all of ya!

Outstanding Ross. Just goes to show that parents still exert a tremendous amount of influence over their children.

Maintain eternal vigilance. It is the people who are prisoners of their own ignorance about firearms that pose the greatest threat to our 2nd Amendment Rights.
 
Ross, I hope to raise kids as wise as yours one day. Congratulations. God bless.
