dark knights and stamp collectors

Today I did the unthinkable (well, at least in my mind). I went to go see a horror movie all by myself. I'm pretty proud of my accomplishment. On the way home, I was stopped at a red light and a chain of eleven children all colors and sizes holding hands with a mother and father at opposite ends crossed the street. I thought to myself, these parents must have sucked at stamp collecting when they were kids and tried to make it up in children when they grew up. Clearly, that's the only explanation.
