Hate is a strong word

There is a 6-year old at the park who enjoys bantering back and forth with the little guy. He showed her a craft he made at school out of toilet paper rolls. When he showed it to me, he said it was a roller coaster. However, to show off to the little girl, he told her it was a gun. She was less than impressed.

"I don't like guns because I hate violence," she said.

"Hate isn't a good word," the little guy replied.

"But violence is terrible so I hate violence," the girl stated emphatically.

"Well, I like violence because hate isn't a good word!"
