I just had this same conversation for the 1st time with my second grade son on Sunday, in the car on the way to soccer. He read the word "Baghdad" in a book and asked me if it was a real place - hmm, funny you asked, son...it was a good conversation but I agree, not easy to figure out how to make sense of it on their level (or any level, for that matter). But I realized in our case that I wasn't stating it strongly enough when he declared that now he likes Bush "a little tiny bit" because he did something "sort of good" when he got Saddam out of there!! Oh, dear. My words got a lot stronger after that and by the time we got to the soccer field he was fretting over how awful it would be if the next president didn't end the war. Sheesh, this parenting stuff is hard work sometimes. <br/><br/>I'm with PunditGirl. Cake is where it's at. Wow.
