The Kid (playing a violent video game): I just got offered a mission to kill four people for $7000. Would you kill four people for $7000?

Me (not looking up from whatever embroidery I'm working on) : I don't know, I guess it would depend on who they were.

The Kid: Umm... it says they're jurors.

Me: Yeah, but I'd need to know who they really are. Are they people who don't use turn signals? Are they people who block the entire aisle at grocery stores with no regard to anyone else in the store? Are they people who text in the movies? If it's them, yeah, I'd probably consider it. What about you?

The Kid: No.

Me: Really?

The Kid: Yeah, $7000 is way too low.
