Conversation with Drake, while watching a documentary about American occupation of Japan after WWII
Drake: How come we were so mean to Japan?
The documentary was discussing confiscation of family samurai swords
Me: Because we just had a war with Japan, and we were angry and afraid that Japan might hurt us again.
Drake: I’m glad we don’t have wars anymore.
Me: Oh, sweet boy. We live in a place that is very safe from war, but right now, there are many wars in other parts of the world.
Drake, tears in his eyes: Tell those guys to stop it, Mom. They should do a lot of timeouts.
