Yesterday, my six year old was watching PBS when suddenly he calls out, "Mommy, Daddy, on the grown up show that came on after PBS kids was over, they said there was a battle and 25 people got killed." Lovely. Next came the questions. Was it a real battle? Did the people really get killed? Why were they fighting? Were the guys who got killed the good guys?
He was more curious than upset but it really made me mad on many levels. First, why were they fighting? It's easy for a six year old. There are good guys and bad guys and the good guys defeat the bad guys. Right?
OK. I can't really finish this the way I was hoping. I'm about to go off on a rant about our fatuous "leader" and I'm getting myself all worked up. Maybe I'll come back to this later. 01.20.09
