Well, my day ended with a conversation with another grandson about active shooter drills. He is a high school sophomore.
He told me if there is someone in the building, he's going out the window, not hiding in a dark corner.
Having never been through these drills, I tried to be cautious in what I would say. So, for the moment, I thought better to agree with him.
He then stunned me with the casual reminder of what the Columbine guys had planned.
WTF could I say to this black belt grandson.

My little granddtrs were involved in a swattting last year while still in elementary school. This year a kid was caught with a gun in his book bag on the bus. When discussing it with them, I realized I couldn't say much to make them feel better. I couldn't protect them.
I completely understand how you feel.
