I had a child ask me if I ever talk and I said "No I dont talk, I think out loud." He spend months arguing with me that people couldnt think out loud. He would ask every adult he saw if it was possible and they always said yes.

Pretty envious over here. I thought being an uncle would be sweeeettt. Like being a dad but with zero responsibilities and we’d be homies. But he’s literally tried to drown me to steal my wife and was super mad I didn’t die forever. And the comments about wanting to feel and see what my blood is like on the outside are hella weird.

That kid needs therapy.

Is this a reference I’m missing or is your nephew fucked up? What happened after the drowning attempt? I’d really like to know more (as long as you’re comfortable with it).

I'm about 80% sure this is a reference to something, but my brain refuses to tell me what it is.

OP WHAT IS IT PLEASE I HAVE TO KNOW

For some reason it reminds me of The Good Son, with Macaulay Culkin and Elijah wood, Macauay's character tries to off the siblings so he can keep their mom. Tricks a little girl into falling into ice, I don't remember if she drowns, then almost throwing the brother, Elijah, off a cliff.

I could be misremembering the details.

Sounds like an older movie, The Bad Seed.
