Yikes. I'm a Mom. The World Is Big.

Here is an Anna One-Liner I found mildly worrisome:
"Jack is a man. Thomas is a soldier."

I was floored. Soldier? I don't even watch CNN (eh, right Fox News) in front of her, much less talk about soldiers.
Jenny asked her: what is a soldier?
"Someone who goes to war."

I have no explanation for this.

It is one thing to know your child is being influenced by something or someone other than yourself. It is quite another to not have any clue where that influence is coming from.
And it is another thing altogether when she is only 2.
