Fullmetal Wizard

(My husband is sitting at his computer with our one-year-old son on his lap. Earlier, he’d been watching an anime which centers around a pair of brothers who attempt to raise their mother from the dead, an effort which goes horribly wrong.)

Husband: “Okay, [Son], what should we watch? How about Fullmetal Alchemist?”

Me: “I’d rather he be a little older before he watches that. We don’t want him thinking he needs to do anything and everything to bring me back from the dead, should something happen. After all, there are things worse than death.”

Husband: “Like getting expelled from Hogwarts.”

(We wound up watching “Harry Potter” instead.)
