*shakes head* John and Stephen make me laugh...

John and Stephen are in their bed and John's crying and saying he's scared, etc...
I say, "John, why are you scared?"
John says, "I'm scared of the closet!"
I say, "Why are you scared of the closet?"
*stops crying* John says, "...I don't know... I'm just scared of it! *starts crying again*"
Stephen sits up in his bed and says, "John, why are you scared of the closet? There's only clothes in there."
John all of a sudden stops crying and says, "Uh... and shoes, Stephen."


Did I miss something? How come he never stops crying when I try to comfort him? Only when he has to correct his two year old brother, does he stop crying. *shakes head* I don't understand.

History

This was in my history book:

In 1487 a new pyramid-temple had been dedicated to Huitzilopochtli in the center of Tenochtitlan. On the flat top of the pyramid was the principal altar, with 600 smaller altars up and down the sides. Tlacaellel organized a four-day-long dedication ceremony. With the booming of the great snakeskin drums echoing over the city and the surrounding lakes, the dedication ceremony began. Thousands of captives, in a column three mile long, were herded across the plaza. The high priest and the lesser priests, in blood-drenched robes, led the victims to the altars. Each trembling man was stretched out flat. The priest plunged an obsidian knife into the victim's chest, pulled out his heart and placed it between the gaping jaws of the stone god. His body was then thrown over to the side. The whole process took 15 seconds.
The mass murders went on for four days and four nights. More than 80,000 men were killed. Most of the nobility, who had been required to be present, could not endure the seemingly never-ending spectacle and fled before its conclusion. But Tlacaellel remained to the end.


Is that harsh or what?! To me, that's just gross. I'm not the type of person to, you know, throw up if I read stuff like that. But I just shake my head and wonder what the flip that guy was thinking during that time. I'm sure he wasn't thinking, "Hey, maybe we shouldn't be ripping peoples hearts out and then throwing their bodies to the side." or "Hey, I want a puppy. Now that I'm sitting here watching 80,000 people die, I'd like a puppy!"
It makes me sick!!! Not really... But it's gross. :D Anyway, just thought I'd share that with whoever reads this.:P Have fun.
