This morning the girls and I headed to a Memorial Day Celebration in Gridley with Roy's family. As we are driving there the girls are, of course, asking every question they can think of, so I start explaining;
Me: "Memorial day is the day we remember all the people that fought in the wars"
Emma: "What is a war?"
Me: "A war is where people fight and lots of people die"
Emma: "good people or bad people?"
Me: "Both, good people and bad people fight in a war and some get killed"
So we find our seats and the Ceremony starts with some beautiful music and Memorial Services. Emma and I head to the back where the shade is and stand there for a while. After about 30 minutes of being there Emma looks up at me and says,
"When are they going to start killing eachother?"
WOW! I could not help but laugh out loud and I hope that no one else heard her. I promply discussed with her the fact that this was just a time to remember what happened not that they were going to fight and kill right then.
What will that girl come up with next?
