The Difference Between Good Guys and Bad.

Tonight at bath time, Roman pointed his little water squirt gun at the wall and asked, "Mommy, you know what bad guys do?"

"No, buddy, what do they do?"

"They make you DEAD."

"That's not very nice, is it?"

"No."

"What do good guys do?"

"I not know."

"They protect other people from the bad guys."

"Yeah."  And he paused for a second.  "Mommy, I do that.  I push the bad guys down like this:" and he pushed the water toward the wall.

"That's good, buddy, when you help people so the bad guys don't hurt them.  That makes your mommy proud."

"Yeah, they fall down and break their head like this" [nasty squishy sound]   "and their brains come out.  That's what bad guys do."

Okay, seriously?  Are boys born like this?  Talking about guts and oozing brains?  Where does he get this stuff?  But that's the difference between good and bad, according to a three-year-old.
