[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 302042, member: 3444"] Well, about the dragons... he saw a video that was formatted like a documentary, but any rational adult watching it could see that it was purely fiction... in fact, it set up the whole story as a "what if" scenario. But difficult child 2 must have blinked or not listened when they said that, because he told me point blank that he believes that dragons truly are real. There was just no arguing with him, either. Finally, I asked if he would watch the show with me so that I could help him understand what they were talking about. As I started to point out the fictional aspect of the show, he got more and more annoyed with me -- I was ruining his fantasy, I guess. I'm not sure if he's willing to let go of it completely, but I've now learned that he can be a wee bit too literal in his thinking and we have to be careful about how things are presented to him. He would be a perfect "brainwashing" candidate, I'm afraid to say. :( [/QUOTE]
