am I just cruel? or what?

maybe 'cruel' isn't the the right word. *shrug* heh, but continuing with observations at my first day of work - there's this kid - maybe 7-8 years old.. and his parents have abandoned him in the entry/lobby-type area.. I don't recall ever seeing his parents, actually. Anyway. This kid is just hanging around.. tried to "boo!" (scare me).. and uh, sure, I can be babysitter for a little while.. but after a while.. I kind of have to wonder where his parents are. Anyway. He's being a typical 7-8 year old boy (I think?) and to the right of where my desk is there's a large stairway. He's been having quite some fun on this stairway, making lots of noise.. and then, I look up, and see him flat on his side at the top of the stairway (getting ready to roll down going side-first, apparently).. and I think... "go for it buddy.."

is that not horrible?

but then I obviously caught myself thinking that and wondered what the hell is wrong with me.. ha.. why I would think such a thing. Here he is, ready to fly himself down the stairs by rolling down on his side, and I think, "go for it." ..I must be a pretty messed up person.. or something. ::laughs slightly:: uhm. n-e-way. he never did roll down the stairs like that.. thankfully (he attempted one step and I think that kind of made him realize it was a stupid idea).
