Yeah, Pat B. All my kids think they're comedians and the fiancee and I are
downhome smartasses.  It's a neverending parade of barbs, jokes, insults, innuendo, and sarcasm.  I'm the dry humorist.

I like the kid. Great comeback. Your dinner table must be a laugh riot.

I believe it was an actual dream embellished, Troosha. Harboring thoughts
of eliminating a stern or restrictive figure from one's life is common among the young and unempowered.  He also understands that, unlike his father, I can take a morbid joke without verbally chastising and denigrating him...

Would that he dream such dreams of his authoritative, misanthropic
father, Whacky, but the problems of childhood apparently will be exorcised through me...

Whether it was an actual dream or not it was a crafty retort....

Thanks, Passionflower. There are only paring knives in the kitchen.
No guns, no hunting knives, no bows, no implements of destruction.  I will provide no child in my house with the means of dispatching me short of a good grasp of chemistry...

First I'd heard about it, SW. True story, though. Damn step-kids --
they should be outlawed.  I'd beat him senseless, but I don't believe you can have a negative IQ.  Not to mention that he isn't red-headed.

Maybe he draws them from their perspective
It's not a good idea to mock people that dream about killing you.  =)
