Parenting Skill #44

Not jumping to conclusions.

This afternoon we took the kids to see The Incredibles. At one point in the movie, Mrs. Incredible is going off to look for Mr. Incredible, leaving the two kids alone. She tells them she'll be back soon.

At this point, Cameron leans over to me and whispers urgently "She's coming back in a body bag!"

What?

My mind started spinning. I mean, for starters, how does this kid know what a body bag is? What kind of weird "Iraqi National Guard vs. The Insurgents" games are they playing on the playground at school?

Trying to stay calm, I asked "What did you just say?"

"Dad, I gotta go to the potty bad!"

Oh.
