World War II And The Difference Between Boys & Girls

A quick example of the interesting differences between boys and girls:

So I'm driving Calvin and his friend Bonnie to the library this week, and Bonnie is all excited about her new American Girl doll Molly.  She told me all about the doll, and the new book she read that tells about Molly's adventures during World War II, and how Molly's dad how to go away to the war, and how much they missed him, and how excited Molly was when her dad came home.  Bonnie quoted verbatim entire sections to the book to me and explained all the new things she had learned about the war and how it affected people.

Calvin's response: (verbatim):

"Hey, I know all about World War II.  That's when we fought the Yahtzees.  They had machine guns that went Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam (the machine gun sound effects went on for a while).  And then we dropped an atomic bomb on the Chinese."

OK, so we need to work a little on his history facts, but in Calvin's world, everything comes back to weapons and/or explosions.
