One of the hardest things to remember about early childhood is what it was like to look at writing and not have it communicate anything. The closest thing now is looking at an unfamiliar alphabet, but it’s not quite the same.
Dill obviously had heard about “the signs of the end of the world as you know it” as actual posted signs. That is so like a child to think in such a straight forward manner like that.

Well, SOMBODY’s doomed … (don’t know who for sure, though).

Dill’s answer sounds good to me too. I will have to start using that when I have to other answer.

Very cute. Nice pace to the dialogue… Great concept… Why indeed? It’s the basic challenge of childhood.

I think Dill is Richard’s philosophical doppelganger.

Dill is apocalyptic; Beni is paranoid; Miss Bliss is improbable. Alice knows.
The end is near!
