I got challenged to start this thread, and for the record, "kids" includes Jeff. Otherwise it would just be me, talking to myself. (As if I don't do that enough already).
So--I keep the car radio tuned to NPR. Around here, that's just asking for grief. Turns out the kids pay more attention to the news than I realize.
I turned the radio off for 9/11 (the kids were 3 and 1 at the time), but turned it back on later that fall, when the anthrax scare was going on. We were at friends', and the kids were playing house or something. The Kid walked up to my girlfiend, handed her an envelope, and said, I"m a bad guy; this is anthrax." We talked about this last week, and he has no memory of it.
When the U.S. army caught Saddam Hussein: "Mommy, can we have a bath party, too?"
Massachusetts allows same-sex marriage: "If I go to college in Massachusetts, do I HAVE to marry another boy?"
