It is a proven fact (somewhere, in one of those stupid fucking parenting books) that young children are narcissistic. Most outgrow it but some grow up to be partners or people who buy lots of shoes. I don't care much if the Little Fan right now doesn't give much of a fuck about other people (so long as the little shit doesn't get me sued or something) because, well, he is supposed to be sorta self-centered at his age, but I started early on making sure that he is nice to animals (I have lots of cats) and understood that he was to love and not to hurt them. This is in part because I love my cats and in part because I didn't want him to grow up to be a fucking Dahmer. I figured I could short-circuit any Dahmer-tendencies by getting him to respect animals (and bugs and shit like that -- fuck people).
Thrashers(then the fire ants stung him when he was "petting" them - what a dumbass)Fan
