I can just imagine what would happen to some stranger that tried to lure you into a van with puppies and candy. I'm not sure if you'd do more damage or your mom would.

[But she knew what he meant. Knew that his mom's fear hadn't been about some faceless man in a van with disgusting habits. No, it was worse. It was her own government. The people put in place to protect her that she had to fear most of they found out about Clark. She could only imagine what those faceless suits and scientists would do to a small little thing like he'd been.]

I'm glad nothing like that happened. Really. Seems like you had a good start in life, Kent.
