Best. Answer. Ever.

I've spent part of the day with an extended family, which includes two ten year old sisters. Their uncle has just brought them back a boomerang from his trip to Australia, and we went to the park to try it out.

One of the ten-year-olds has been told that boomerangs are used to kill animals when hunting, so becomes worried when her dad gets set to have the first throw of the thing.

"What if it comes back and kills him?" she asks her mother, fearfully hiding her face.

"Well I suppose he'll die", answers her mother, deadpan.
