Teaching Them Politic-Speak From Seven Years Old

(My husband and I are lying in bed and my seven-year-old and he are throwing pillows at one another.)

Daughter: *laughs and throws it back but I get hit*

Me: “Aah! Friendly fire! Civilian casualties!”

Husband: *laughs* “Friendly fire kills! Civilian casualties, or as the government calls it, suitable losses!”
