Richard is learning the difference between movies and the news. I guess it's hard for a kid to distinguish when what he's watching on TV is pretend or real. On Friday night, while I was at work, Scott was watching something on the events of September 11. Richard was watching and was quite upset when he realized it was real. Scott did explain that it happened a long time ago. Richard said to Scott, "I didn't know this happened!" He can be so tenderhearted.
Well, today, while I was exercising, I was watching Transformers. I was pointing out a landmark to catch his attention, and I think it suddenly dawned on him that what we were watching might be real. I did my best to explain that this was pretend. I think it made him nervous to see something happening at a location he'd been to before and it made him wonder if it was real.
