Chain Her To the Lightpost

Chain her to the Lightpost Chain her to the light post By her heels If she still wants to leave Latch her to Big Foot's foot I stopped typing to look at the two boys in my office I learn more during their play than when I am trying to listen to them I say smack her in the head until she is dead the other one said. I scooted over and asked "What are you playing?" Video games was the reply. With my plastic play animals and my building blocks. They were hitting each other's animals with gusto. "If you are going to be rough with them, maybe you are finished?" I suggested. They stared at me. "What's wrong?" one asked. They are six. Where do I start? They had already told me about Killer Grandma, A video game they both play at home with their dads Where you try to kill her before she kills you. With axes, chains, knives, and other great stuff.
