New questions

Ones I, Mom, did not expect quite so soon in my son's life...

SLAVERY

Finn: Hey! What's slavery?

Mom: What?

Finn: What's slavery?

Mom: Well, it's when people think they can own other people, like a thing, and make them work for them.

Finn: Is it bad?

Mom: Very, very bad. One of the worst things.

Finn: Yeah.

RAGE

Finn: Hey! What's rage?

Dad: When someone gets really really mad.

Finn: Yeah.

IS THAT WAR?

Finn: Hey! Is that War?

Dad: No, that's a protest.

Finn: Is that like war?

Mom: Sometimes it is, it can be - honey, can we turn off the news, please?

Finn: Why we turning off the news?

Mom: It's time to read.

Finn: I'm gonna read my Abraham Lincoln book!

Mom: sighs. Okay.
