Stuck in the car, we have some of the most interesting conversations.

Jenny: Was Daddy ever in a war?

Me: No. (Thank God).

Jenny: What’s it like to be in a war?

Me: I don’t know, honey.

Fritz: Scary!

Me: Yes, I imagine it is scary.

Katie: It’s like walking in the woods, and you have a gun, and you want to shoot the deer, but the deer are coming at you instead of running away, and they have guns too, and they’re going to shoot you.

{pause}

Me: I suppose if you can imagine that, you might be able to imagine what war is like.

FYI: Although my husband would like to go hunting, he never has, I never have, none of us have ever been hunting, seen people hunting. I don’t think they’ve ever even seen a deer strapped to a car or truck, although they did watch Open Season. They have seen deer while walking in the woods. I don’t know where she gets this stuff.
