Peter reported having a conversation today with a friend about a visit by her young niece, age 5. The niece was so charmed by the friend's pets and other amenities that she declared she would like the friend & the friend's husband to be her parents, in preference to her own. When it was time for her to leave the friend's house, she told her parents that they were destroying her life.
"That's nothing," said Peter. "Just listen to this shit. The other day, Henry told Leora he wanted to kill her... with a gun. And he told me he was going to skin me and cover me with fire."
His listeners were suitably horrified.
"Where is he getting that from?" they asked, aghast.
"Beatrix Potter," Peter replied.
