Charlie was watching with me, and as the soldiers fell from gunshot wounds he turned to me, looking a little concerned, and asked me what they were doing.
I explained about how people like to dress up and reenact famous battles from wars. 'But are they really dead?' he asked me.
'No, they're just pretending. It's like acting.'
'Oh, like the thing my dad and I saw in Germantown.' he said, light dawning. He was relieved, and got up to go 'check his Facebook.' as he walked out of the room he was still talking about the pretend soldiers, ending with 'it's not like that they are serial killers.'
