“?אמא, למה אנשים בטלוויזיה עצובים”

“because, chicky, something very terrible happened in the world, across the world, and it made a lot of people sad.”

“?מה קרה בעולם”

“parts of it are falling apart a bit… there are people who want to make parts of the world fall apart, like taking one or two pieces off of a puzzle so it is not complete.”

“?למה”

“well, you know how you and me live in this little space in a bigger building? we live in an apartment, and we have neighbors who live in other apartments around us, and together we make a whole building.”

“.כן, ואנחנו גרים על יד ג’ קולר”

“נכון. and so the world is like a big building, with lots of little apartments, and people fill all those places, and do you understand what we do with our neighbors? we share. we share our space. we share the building, and each live in bits of it. in the world, people share bits of it.”

“.כמו דירות”

“נכון. and you know what? there are only 6 apartments in our building, but in the world, there are billions of people! do you know how many people that is?”

“…מיליונים”

“so billions of people share this space, the world, and some people get angry about it, or get angry that some people dont share equally, or get angry that their space is less nice than others’. it is very difficult for billions of people to learn how to share.”

“.דווי לא יודע איך להתחלק”

“well, sharing can be hard for people. and that is why some people do terrible things to other people and make them cry and hurt them. that is why we have to be careful, chicky. we have to stick together and make sure that people are not sad, are not hurt, and know how to share.”

“.בסדר, אמא”

    Wow. What good parenting, and what a sensitive child you’re raising.
    We all have to do our part to fix this broken world. You sure are doing your part.

    Oh wow… No, that’s just fiction, I wrote it after the London bombing… I don’t have a kid yet, but I take it as a compliment anyway…
