Important matters
Overheard tonight, as my 7-year-old and his 11-year-old sister came across a television commercial for the new teen vampire movie:
Him: “Why doesn’t he die? He’s a vampire. Vampires can’t be out in sunlight.”
Her: “I don’t know. He just doesn’t.”
Him: “Why not?”
Her: “I don’t know. I know one way to kill them for sure. Rip them apart into pieces. They did that in the first movie.”
Him: “Why don’t they use acid? That would work.”
Her: No response.
Him: “Why don’t they use acid?”
Her: No response.
Him: “EMMA!!!!! Why don’t they use acid?”
Her: “I DON’T KNOW!!!!”
Later, he told me that he had “a plan to put an end to her diabolical ways.”
