The Discussions We Have

Our real-life lesson for the day...

Aidan: That was cool seeing that blimp yesterday. Do you think there is a battlefield near here? Next door neighbor boy said that blimps are usually in battles.

Mom: Uh, the blimp said "MetLife" on it, so I don't think it was for a battle... That's the name of an insurance company.

Aidan: Oh. (disappointed) Well, maybe there is a battlefield near here somewhere.

Mom: Wars don't just happen on "battlefields" that are set aside for that. Modern wars happen wherever.

Aidan: Oh. Huh. Do they just find a big field somewhere?

Mom: Not exactly. Sometimes people attack cities.

Aidan: Oh. Wow.
