Sunday DH and I had lunch with my 8-yr old cousin who had spent the night with us and a friend of ours whose husband is in Iraq. My cousin was coloring her menu when we asked our friend about her husband and when she had heard from him last. My cousin asked where her husband was and why he was there. She looked confused when the friend told her that her husband was fighting a war. My cousin said that the war was over.....it ended when those men were on the bridge and then they fell off. Now it was all of our turn to look confused. I asked her what she was talking about and she said she had seen where the men fell off the bridge and the war was over. I kept questioning her until finally she gave some more information. She had been to where the war was with her family.....down in San Antonio where they have that funny building you can go see. She thought the war we were talking about was the Alamo and was very glad that it was over and we didn't have to worry about it!
Just thought you might enjoy this story. We all did. As wrapped up in politics and debates on the war that we all get in as adults, sometimes I wish things could be as simple and innocent as a child sees them!
