You notice how the son runs through the cemetary shouting "it's so cool'? What kind of kid thinks a cemetary is cool? And what kind of mother doesn't question it?

Graveyards are interesting places. Usually meticulously landscaped, statues, sometimes strange, sometimes beautiful, sometimes morbid, quiet, and on a sunny day, very peacefulall in all, an environment completely unfamiliar. What's not to like?
I've never met a kid with a healthy sense of curiosity that didn't like places like that. If you're a powerful psychic, it's probably interesting on a whole other level, the difference between looking at a bland painting and watching a vivid movie. -

My dad used to take me on walks through graveyards as a little kid and read the headstones to me. He just thought it was a profound thing to do, think about these people who used to be living their lives and are now in the ground.
I liked it. But, it didn't really sink in to me that there were actual bodies under my feet. I didn't really get it. I think I thought of it more like just a memorial park, not a graveyard. One day it occurred to me and I asked my dad "are there really dead people in this ground right here?" He said yes, and thats when it stopped being so cool to me. Even now I feel a little strange in cemeteries. It feels wrong to be walking on top of the dead. But, I still love reading about the people. It IS profound for me to think about who they were.

LOL, yeah
for some reason, when I was 16, 17, 18, 19, whatever
I used to get chicks and people together and think it was cool to sit in those old 1800's Cemetaries with the headlights pointing at the stones, abnd blasting Black Sabbath (original album, paranoid, or Master of Reality) while drinking and sitting on the car hood. -

In my Biology class in High School, we went on a field trip to the cemetary across from the school. It was the best field trip I'd ever gone on. It's amazing the stories we were able to collect just by reading the inscriptions. I understand how some people find it creepy, but I've just always been on the side of seeing cemetaries as thouroughly interesting places.

When I was in kindergarten, I lived next to a cemetery. I didn't like it at night because it was near a lake and sometimes there'd be fog which is reminiscent of almost every horror movie ever made, but in the day when I was waiting for the schoolbus, I would wander through the cemetery and pick out the stones that had lambs on them. So, some kids DO find cemeteries cool.
Love isn't brains, children, it's bloodblood screaming inside you to work its will.

I think a child's perception of a cemetery can be influenced in a negative way by movies that make it seem like a scary/sad place. I use to be scared of them as a kid but that was only because I believed that there were bad spooks in there and never had been in one to know the truth. Now as an adult I always beg to stop at the cemeteries when we are on road trips and have visited pretty much all of them in my vicinity. I would like to do a grave rubbing sometimes over in Massachusetts. Those old graves have a lot of character.
To answer your question, I would be curious as to why he/she found it to be such a cool place.
