Tonight, for bedtime stories with the girls, we began tackling Greek Mythology. We didn't even make it past the story of how Zeus overthrew the Titans before my children began questioning the potential historical accuracy of things.
'Dad, how could Cronus eat all his babies, yet they are still alive and come out whole when Zeus makes him throw up? When I throw up, it doesn't look the same as when I swallowed it.'
It's not that the girls don't get the 'myths aren't real' thing...but as the older one put it...'Daddy, that just doesn't make sense!'.
Luckily, it's a kids book, so we shouldn't have to talk about how Zeus changes forms to sneak sex with different women.
