It's ok, my children are inside the children killing machine. Fuck those other kids.

Which is ironic, because you’re statistically most likely to roll over your own child. Kids are dumb and will do things like run in front of your vehicle as you’re pulling out of the driveway. And if you’re driving one of those massive trucks with gigantic blind spots, you won’t see them.

It’s sort of like having a pool. Statistically, someone from your household (like your kid) is the most likely person to drown in your pool. Simply because kids are fucking stupid and they’ll inevitably spend a lot of time around it.
