Conversations Continued

This conversation was awhile ago and comes up every so often:

Seth: Jails are for bad people right?
Mom: Yes, when you break the law you will be sent to jail (no need to go into bail, probation, parole at this point)
Seth: Jail is a bad place because the food is bad.
Mom: Well, its not like Dads cooking.
Seth: People who shoot guns go to jail.
Mom: That is right, if you shoot guns at people you will go to jail. That is why you never aim a gun at a person.
Seth: Uncle Tim shoots his gun at the cabin and he might go to jail
Mom: Uncle Tim like to hunt animals - he does not hunt people, he only shoots at animals.
Seth: Uh mom, Uncle Tim and Dad shoot at cans too, and those are not animals. Is Dad going to jail with Uncle Tim?
Mom: No Seth, its okay to shot at cans because they are practicing so they can kill the animal quickly with a good shot and the animal does not have to suffer.
Seth: You can also go to jail for stealing, right?
Mom: Yes, so don't steal anything.
Seth: Okay, I won't - just make sure you have money in your wallet.

********* Last night
Dad: Seth, do you want a bigger bedroom?
Seth: Yes, and stairs.
Dad: Well, you will have a big bedroom.
Seth: That means I need to get more toys.
