Gun Control

Theo is learning all sorts of fun things at his new preschool, such as how to stand up and pee. He's also coming home with some fun comments, such as the one he came up with out of the blue yesterday:

Theo: Mommy, teachers don't like guns.
Me: They don't?
Theo: It's not a good idea to bring a gun to school, Mommy.
Me (stifling a laugh): No, it's definitely not a good idea!

I was wondering where this came from, and then it occurred to me: sharing! Turns out one of the kids in his class brought a water gun for sharing, and evidently the teacher counseled him against doing this again. I just had to laugh because a commentary on guns in schools was pretty much the last thing I expected to hear Theo calmly deliver as he was eating his after-school snack.
