Explaining Reality, with Fantasy...

This was a draft from spring of 2011 that I never posted:

A. asked me the other day why we can't just have peace in the world.  I inhaled.  Then I explained that just like in superhero cartoons and comic books, there are people that want to be the most powerful or have the most money.  So there will be fighting and war.

So maybe too many superheroes at our house is a good thing.  I can explain the unexplainable and maybe it helps my children to hold onto the belief that Good will win out over Evil.  Too bad that an eight year-old, who only hears snippets of current events, has to ask.
