You notice how the son runs through the cemetary shouting "it's so cool'? What kind of kid thinks a cemetary is cool? A

LOL, yeah
for some reason, when I was 16, 17, 18, 19, whatever
I used to get chicks and people together and think it was cool to sit in those old 1800's Cemetaries with the headlights pointing at the stones, abnd blasting Black Sabbath (original album, paranoid, or Master of Reality) while drinking and sitting on the car hood. -

In my Biology class in High School, we went on a field trip to the cemetary across from the school. It was the best field trip I'd ever gone on. It's amazing the stories we were able to collect just by reading the inscriptions. I understand how some people find it creepy, but I've just always been on the side of seeing cemetaries as thouroughly interesting places.

When I was in kindergarten, I lived next to a cemetery. I didn't like it at night because it was near a lake and sometimes there'd be fog which is reminiscent of almost every horror movie ever made, but in the day when I was waiting for the schoolbus, I would wander through the cemetery and pick out the stones that had lambs on them. So, some kids DO find cemeteries cool.

I think a child's perception of a cemetery can be influenced in a negative way by movies that make it seem like a scary/sad place. I use to be scared of them as a kid but that was only because I believed that there were bad spooks in there and never had been in one to know the truth. Now as an adult I always beg to stop at the cemeteries when we are on road trips and have visited pretty much all of them in my vicinity. I would like to do a grave rubbing sometimes over in Massachusetts. Those old graves have a lot of character.
To answer your question, I would be curious as to why he/she found it to be such a cool place. -

When I was Jake's age, I did. I lived next to a graveyard and spent the mornings while I waited for the bus looking through the cemetery for lambs, and I tried to figure out how old the children were when they died and what they were like.

I loved cemetaries too as a kid. Most children do have a morbid interest in death since it's something that seems so taboo to them since adults rarely discuss the subject with them. It would be even more interesting to a child with psychic abilities who can sense all these spirits around him.
