Unfortunately I turned on the T.V. to catch the end of Dr. Phil while Andrew was still at the kitchen table doing his homework. I was getting cookies out of the oven when I realized the news was on and there was another tragic story about someone attacking a girl. Before I could get over there to turn off the T.V. the bad news was out.
Andrew started repeating the story to me like I hadn’t heard it. He said it didn’t sound too bad though, that the guy had just strapped a battery on the girl’s back. I was a little relieved that he hadn’t understood the full meaning of the story. I did end up explaining what they meant by “battery”, but I turned the T.V. off and made a mental note not to turn it back on while Andrew is doing his homework and especially when the news is coming on.
