WANTED: Bearer of bad news

Lately, while we've been driving around town, Ro has been asking for me to give him some bad news. He usually says something like, "Mommy, give me some bad news about the trees please and be angry!" So... I tell him a story about rampaging beavers coming and gnawing down trees all over the city and causing traffic chaos from falling trees, etc. I'm angry about the beavers so we trap them and take them to a lake and let them go far away from the city. Ro loves this and then wants bad news about roads and bridges -- or something else we pass along the road. I think he has slightly morbid humor like his mom.
