| ERIN (then 10): |
[Cousin Bill] said Obama is a Muslim. What’s a Muslim?
|
| MOM: |
That’s another religion, same as Islamic. He isn’t, though.
|
| ERIN: |
What’s so bad about being a Muslim?
|
| CONNOR (then 13): |
Well it was Muslims who flew the planes into…
|
| DAD and MOM, simultaneously: |
AAAAAAHHHH!! AAAAAHHH! WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!
|
| CONNOR, miffed: |
What??
|
| DAD: |
Well…when somebody’s first learning about a big group of people, you don’t start with the worst things.
|
| CONNOR: |
But she asked what was wrong with being a Muslim.
|
| DAD: |
That’s not the same as, “What are some bad things some Muslims have done?”
|
| CONNOR: |
Yes it is!
|
| DAD: |
Okay then. Hey, you know what’s wrong with teenagers? It was teenagers who shot up Columbine High School. THAT’s what’s wrong with teenagers.
