Winding down on the couch and E curls up next to me...
E: "Whatcha watching?"
Me: "A show about Auschwitz. Remember how we talked about those bad camps during the war where a lot of people were killed?"
E: "Oh, yeah."
Me: "This was one of them."
E: "Oh."
*E stands up, casually stretches, and starts walking away*
Me: "Where are you going? You don't want to watch with me?"
E: "Mom, it's 8pm. You know this kind of stuff will give me nightmares."
Me: "It's just the beginning. They aren't going to show any of the bad stuff for a little while. It's important history."
E: "I would, but I have some important stuff to do on the computer."
*E continues walking away*
Me: "What? What important stuff?"
E: "My cows need to be milked and my pumpkins need to be picked. It'll get me relaxed before bed. Enjoy your show."
