Myth Weaver
Finally got around to finishing watching the latest Flash tonight (the season finale?). My five year old happened into the room during the previous episode and decided he loved the series. Now, I have to wait until we both can watch it.
Anyway, after the episode, the questions began. I had something resembling the following conversation:
Payton: Why did Flash run up into the sky at the end?
Me: (Thinking, the more obvious question was how?) By running really fast in the direction opposite the wormhole, he'd reverse the polarity and save the earth.
Payton: And why was Dr. Wells so mad at Flash?
Me: Because he's from the future and needed the Flash to go back in the past to change stop Dr. Wells from killing the Flash's mother so that Dr. Wells could return to the future.
Payton looked at me like he was really confused.
Me: Don't look at me. I'm still trying to figure out how, if they killed Dr. Wells' how many ever great grandfather in order to keep him from ever existing, was it that they all still existed in that timeline since Dr. Wells, who now never existed, couldn't have killed the Flash's mom.
Yep. My kid doesn't have a shot; he's gonna be a geek.
