Wow, what a question! Was he asking about capital punishment or war or was it something else?
I remember when I first explained to my stepdaughter what capital punishment was (she was about 7). She immediately decided that she wanted to run for President someday so that she could abolish it.
Good for your daughter, LAmom!
I probed a little and what my son wanted to know was how many innocent people have died EVER. My best guess was that most people are fairly innocent and everyone dies, so the innocent make up a high percentage of the dead.
That, of course, did not satisfy him at all.
At least he HAS a room cleaning frenzy. Though if the bag is pure mold, maybe not frequently enough 
It's a simple formula:
# of innocent people dead = # of mold spores in the bag
Today, out of the blue, my kids told me that their dad (my atheist husband) said he'd been around as long as God has, and that he'd had a cup of coffee with him once and asked him to make something tastier, so God had invented beer just for him. The kids all thought this was hilarious, but impossible ("Dad's not THAT old, is he?"). I thought it was a little on the odd side, but that's family connections for you. I like the sound of a bag of mold. You didn't happen to get a picture, did you?
JoVE, did I mention that this is a once-a-year kind of cleaning?
Sheila, your kids and husband sound like a hoot.
Chelsea, thanks for that formula. Now I just need someone to count the spores, and I'll have a firm answer for Hurricanehead.
