Today on our way to Hard Labor Creek we saw a little cotton processing facility in Bostwick, GA, and picked up a little piece of cotton lying on the side of the road.

I've made references to the old south, cotton, slavery, and the Civil War before, but today I explained it all at some length. 

Then, when we got home, J wanted to watch the Moses film. When I asked him if it was because we had talked about slavery, he said no, the Moses film "just happened to occur to him." But I wonder, because I first explained to J about slavery in the context of the Moses story.

Like with the friendship audiobook and the one on advertising, this one on bullying occasioned a lot of interruptions and narrative from J about what goes on between him and his friends at school. It all seems pretty harmless at this point. Not that I was expecting anything else; the situations depicted here are a few years off. But I want to prepare for them and have language for them, and this audiobook is excellent for that.
