Parents ~~killing~~ reaping their zombie children was a favorite one of mine.

You don't kill zombies; a zombie is already dead. You wait for or reap zombies. (A zombie process is just a process table entry with its exit status; it goes away once the parent process has read that exit status.)

Haha, yup, you're right; had a brain fart.
