Worlds Collide

Ever since M. Small saw the trailer for the upcoming Pixar movie WALL-E for the first time, he's been fascinated. After one extended session of watching the clips on YouTube, he asked if WALL-E could come over to our house and visit.

How to explain to a preschooler that WALL-E a) is fictional, b) exists centuries in the future, and c) is not even a physical artefact but a series of ones and zeroes that computers present to us as an illusion of light and shadow? I satisfied myself by explaining that WALL-E lives in a different world from us, and there's no traveling between the two realms.

So was it mean of me to take this picture of myself with a standup WALL-E display at the movie theater the other night and show it to him?

I asured him that I told WALL-E that M. was a good boy and was going to come see his movie. M. was quite excited, but I think it may have broken his brain a little bit.
