That definitely sounds like something my DS would say, or would have said at that age, at the very least! He didn't come with filters, and installing them after-market takes years and years.
We have had many conversations about thinking before you speak, and how it's not necessary to say everything that pops into your head. We're still working on that one at 10, actually -- he goes off on a rant about something, and when I tell him it's not necessary to say something just because you think it, he says, in all beguiling innocence, "you don't want me to LIE, do you?" No, I want you to not say anything at all, kid! Or I want you to find something truthful that you CAN say. And yes, if you want to rant about it in private to me, please feel free.
