Engineers

My husband loves playing video games. We had a big fight over him playing them around our son. He insisted that our two-year-old would understand it was just pretend. It quickly became obvious that I was (obviously) right.

Son: MOM! That white truck is a bad guy! Run him off the road! HIT HIS CAR! HIT IT! Don't let him get away!

My husband got the point and stopped playing games when our son is around. However, it has been months and the kid has not forgotten a thing. We frequently have conversations like this:

Son: What's that building?
Me: That's the College of Engineering. That's where you'll go to school if you want to be an engineer. Engineers design new things.
Son: And they have big guns and shoot down the bad guys!
