B told lP "When dad dies we'll get to play his games all the time." B says what he is thinking and sometimes it is funny but sometimes sad. A while ago he said dad was so mad he might hit mom. We both talked to him about how it is OK to be mad but not OK to hurt people.
Life is so confusing because so much of what children see is people hitting each other. It is the point of a lot of the cartoons and books. Violence is everywhere. It is so sad.
On a happier note, B says he'll come visit me when he is grown up. Maybe we'll even live in the same neighborhood and he'll take me out for dinner. He told me so.
