Seren, I think you might appreciate this.

From a brochure I just got here at work, about how to cope with the tragedy:

"Experts tell us that even very young children know about what is happening from what they pick up on television. They want to talk about it with adults they trust. Not every child will react in the same way. Some children will be sad and fascinated. Some may not want to talk at all. No matter how frightened some children may be, it is even more frightening for them to think that nobody cares enough to listen and share the experience with them.

"Listen to the children, explore their feelings and help them feel secure and good about themselves in these difficult times."

Thanks, I've read several tips on how to talk with children. Actually, it's all pretty instinctive with me. That last sentence is exactly what I've been doing with The Kid.

Would you like me to fax you a copy to wave in her dad's face?

You got that right. There's nothing I can do about his part of it.
