Annie [to Ruthie]: Are you okay? What happened?
I'm just playing.
And what exactly were you playing?
That I got shot, just like in the video game called "Bah Boom." Ricky had it at school, and it's really cool. You hold it in your hand, and a soldier walks around in the :jungle and tries not to step on any land mines or get shot by the bad guys.
Honey, do you know that there are real children who step on real land mines and lose arms and legs, and some even die?
No, but this isn't for real. It's just a game, a video game. Can I have one?
No, you cannot have one. I don't like those games. We'll find something else for you to play with, okay?
