Jen - I love MON's advice. The time will come soon enough, and yes, our young ones misunderstand if they 'have to.'
You are so right. I thought this was funny and a good example of misunderstanding when they aren't ready to tackle a particular bit of info. DS was telling me more about the movie, and he said he was very upset and scared, especially when a guy got his head cut off!
Then, he said, "and all the people who were sleeping looked like they had no heads too."
"Sleeping"?
What the heck were they watching?! Do 6-8 year-olds need to see a bunch of dead people with no heads? It might be reality, but are they ready for this?
