Procrasturbating Responsibly

“While reading, a small group of kids discussed the ethical dilemma in Bunnicula- a vampire bunny that sucks the juice out of vegetables…

Me: So who do you think is right? Chester the Cat for trying to kill Bunnicula, or Harold the Dog who is trying to save Bunnicula
Kid 1: I think Harold because it’s not like Bunnicula is killing humans, he’s just eating the vegetables..
Kid 2: I think Chester …because what’s stopping Bunnicula from turning on humans? He may like vegetables now, but he might start on humans..
Kid 3: Well, it’s like what’s more important, kill 1 and save 5 or save 1 and kill 5?
Kid 4: That all depends on who it is [you’re saving]… I still say Harold is right for protecting Bunnicula
Kid 2: YOU WOULD RATHER SAVE A VAMPIRE BUNNY THAN HUMANS?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??
Kid 4: But he’s not hurting anyone, just vegetables…
Kid 2: THEY FEEL TOO!
Me: My girlfriend handles these types of questions for a living actually..
Kid 3: About Vampire Bunnies? SHE STUDIES VAMPIRE BUNNIES?!
Me: No she- you know what..yes.. she studies vampire bunnies -___-“
