conversation of 30 seconds ago:

[as I walk through the library foyer and pause to look at the blue masking tape outline of a body inside an area marked off with "caution" tape...]

kid [matter-of-factly]: "somebody died."
me: "well, shoot."

don't worry, nobody actually died. It's a promotion for the library's reading program this summer, "get a clue @ the library"

kids are great.
