seriously, this is why they don't let ten year olds vote. good news... when she's 18 and can vote...she'll (hopefully) laugh at how silly and simplistic her thoughts were

rofl...

*picks out Most important part of your response*

you thought alaska was an island until you were 18?!?

i wasn't mad at her, i was mad at her father, and yes i will in future take into consideration how a ten year old interprets statements...but i have no doubt that her dad would have said this to her pretty much word for word. he thinks polite dinner conversation is to turn to me and tell me that because i don't have sex that can lead to procreation i am going to hell.

i suppose in the future it would be more productive if i said, dear niece, what gave you this idea? and then calmly tried to point out the flaws in how this idea was created.

let me explain.

well, looking at that map it does make sense how the error could occur.

yes, i can see how that line would be more effective, then "Oh my god the is freaking ridiculous, kerry does not kill babies, that is a total lie." or you know, whatever i might have said along those lines.

but i am still keeping xie's idea as plan b.

I disagree with vamphile. Best to play along, lull her into a false sense of security, then kidnap her and have her deprogrammed.

this is why they don't want gay people to adopt children

[not_yet_defined]

because we will reprogram them?

huh.

*feeling bitchy* i am totally asking my mom tomorrow if this is why she thinks i(well all gay people to be fair, she isn't just picking on me) shouldn't have kids.

[epicallytired]

um, i was totally kidding.
