For my wife’s birthday, I bought her a special edition of Titanic on video. Early that morning, our curious 3-year-old son noticed the gift on the table. “Can I watch it after nursery school?” he asked eagerly. I chuckled and replied, “No, sweetheart, that’s for grown-ups, like Mommy and Daddy.” He nodded seriously, as if he understood every word I said.
That afternoon, when I arrived to pick him up, his teacher was trying her best not to burst into laughter. She said, “You might want to hear what your son’s been telling everyone today.” Apparently, he spent the whole day proudly announcing, “Mommy and Daddy are going to watch a grown-up movie tonight!” The teachers had no idea he was talking about Titanic. Naturally, their imaginations went in a completely different direction.
