You are holding your granddaughter's hand.
Neither of you is well after the long trip
with no food or water.
Together you are taken to an "infirmary" by a soldier.
The place turns out to be a pit where people are
being "cured with a single pill," as the soldier puts it,
that is, with a single shot to the back of the head.
The pit is full of bodies, some of them are still moving.
There are six people ahead of you in the line.
Your granddaughter looks up at you
and asks you a question.
What is that question?
"Can I see Mommy now?"
"Are they SURE we won't come back as zombies?"
Something like GF or PDH said - the question makes you assume the "shot" is a "gun shot" but it could be just an injection.
The problem with right-brained questions having a "correct" response implies that there is only one answer that fits...a very left-brained assumption :)

Are you really a lawyer?
No...havent' you seen the movies. Happened all over Poland. Big pit. dead bodies. Bad German shooting you.
NO PDH. There is no one answer. It's all about imaginations and interpretations.

I saw "28 Days After". I haven't seen "Katyn". So there. :P
I'm still shocked I've fathered a child. Anyway, how am I suppose to know what someone else will ask? She could be going on about wanting to borrow the car or needing to take a crap.
This is pretty much a repeat of Gustav's fun and games #2.
"Do I have to go in the pit with those gross old dudes?" is what a modern young lady would say.

Followed by: "I can't get a signal here? Like, how can I send a picture to my friends. LOL"

"Are we there yet?"
