My son and I watched the 11:00 news for a bit. At the lead-in, they promised a story about an exploding remote-controlled car. I knew it would be a warning about a defective toy; he thought it would be a promotional piece about a fantastic new toy that he wanted to go out and buy. He was, of course, very disappointed.
I am being ever so slightly appalled at him. I could either end up shrugging my shoulders and saying something about “the youth of today,” or I could blow it totally out of proportion. I don’t like these options.
