But is it real? My eight year-old thinks World War III is a video game. Or something else Barney (the purple dinosaur) started as in "I hate you, you hate me, Barney started World War three." Either way, he didn't understand that we don't want WW III.
Silly me, I tried to explain about WWs I & II. Real wars, real fighters, real people died. I talked about the present wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The bombing in Libya.
He wasn't getting it: No, not like the fighters in Star Wars. Not like the mega multiplayer Lego Universe. Finally, he says - like George Washington and the Revolutionary War - with real people in uniforms. Okay, we're getting closer.
