We're watching Atonement,and Kimi asks, "What war is this?"
Ashley points out that it's World War II. Pretty straightforward, right? Wrong.
"Who was fighting who?" asks Kimi.
"Well, the France and England were fighting together against the Germans --"
"Wait! I thought that was World War III!"
"Umm, that's the name they give to any major conflict nowadays."
"But I really thought there was a World War III! Or I just shifted everything ..."
Yeah, honey, yeah you did. She said that she should think before she speaks. Perhaps, this is why we leave the history to Ashley. Roomie knows best. Sister ... well, not so much.
