Sign of the Times

As I was out for a walk today, my path took me through a neighborhood park where I passed a group of four children, all around 10 years old.

The conversation I overheard went like this:

First Kid: "Get lost!"

Second Kid: "Come near me again and I will slit your throat"

First Kid: "You would never do that. You wouldn't slit my throat!"

Second Kid hits First Kid

First Kid: "Hit me again and I'll sue you for assault!"

Second Kid runs away.

Obviously I live in a tough neighborhood. They apparently teach Torts in elementary school here.
