You know, it’s really difficult to raise a woke toddler without the media’s help in forcing politics down your kids’ throats. Thank goodness for outlets like TIME, who’s put together a handy guide to explaining the killing of terrorist kingpin Qasem Soleimani to your kids:
If you need help talking with the children in your life about the aftermath of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani's killing, @timeforkids has a guide to explaining the topic https://t.co/wCOV3m5a2B

Spoiler alert: Donald Trump is the villain of this story.

No kidding. Apparently Bobby Lewis doesn’t realize the sort of ridiculousness he’s defending.

Hey, call me crazy, when when my daughters were small, I tried to shield them from bad news.

And you know what? If your kids do ask about Soleimani for some reason, you shouldn’t need a guide from TIME to explain him.

My generation watched World War II movies on the 4:30 Movie, we did not need explained to us why you need to kill the bad guys so they stop murdering innocent people. https://t.co/5XUqa0K3wg
