I don't think anybody would be having fun when it's all done.

My local elementary school had to be locked down today, where my kids go and my wife teaches. False threat. But locked down. Neighboring school also locked down, false threat, but actually swarmed by police and entered and cleared by police. A teacher for that school wrote an email to my friends mother about how brave her 15 year old daughter was and how she was brave and a leader. My wife's school was locked down but the kids had no idea why. So tonight I had to sit and explain to my 9 year old why and what they thought was happening and what could happen. My daughter is wise well beyond her years. I swear she is really 12. She understood the gravity of it but I couldn't believe I was in the situation of tucking in a 9 year old explaining why people chose to murder children like her and teachers like her mother. Nothing terrible happened at school today but if felt pretty fucking terrible having that conversation. But I'm glad I got to tuck her in. Because for a fleeting second I thought the worst and even that is too much.

After Lockdown, grab a mop

Help clean up the bloody slop

Wear some gloves to scoop up brains

Flush the ichor down the drains

This is normal, work till done

To keep the right to own a gun

For if guns are banned we can't be free

So kids must die and cease to be

This is the price we all must pay

For we must bow to the N.R.A.
