The Talk (no, not that one)

Hanni: What's a gun?

Mama: Hmm. Where did you hear about guns?

Hanni: At preschool.

Mama: Was a kid talking about guns?

Hanni: No, a teacher.

Mama: What did she say?

Hanni: I don't know. [Pause.] She said guns are bad.

Mama: Well, there are different kinds of guns. A gun shoots things out
of it really fast. There are water guns that you can use to squirt
water, and those are fun. And then there are things called glue guns
and staple guns. Those are used for projects. But there's another
kind of gun that shoots bullets, and those can hurt people.

[Long pause.]

Hanni: What are they for? The bullet kind?
