Joseph: There’s a commercial for the new Garfield movie.

Me: Hmm.

Joseph: The British are coming! The British are coming!

Me: What?

Joseph: That’s what Garfield says.

Me: Oh, okay.

Joseph: What are British?

Me: They’re people who live in England.

Joseph: Are they bad?

Me: Well – no, see –

Joseph: So why is Garfield afraid?

Me: It’s just fiction!

Well, that’s not really what I said. I probably said something like, "Pick up your Legos." Ah, but see the impact of mass media on the malleable young mind? We’ll never be able to take him to England now. Thanks, Garfield!
