I don't think people are out there teaching kids to live their lives by this mantra. It's not intended to be a life philosophy, more of a bleak and darkly humorous observation. Sure, it's not always true, but it sure does feel like it sometimes. Kind of like "life's a bitch, and then you die", it's not meant to be taken too seriously.

That's the thing - you don't have to intend to teach kids anything, they just pick up on the stuff you say. I know this isn't a forum where we are endangering children by writing stuff like this, but it strikes me as a bizarre sentiment to express (of all the things one can say in an unfortunate situation - to choose summarize the whole scenario with that sentence).
