&lt;p&gt;“Why did you turn the movie off, Daddy?”, Beatrix worriedly asks, as if she has done something wrong and is being punished by having her entertainment interrupted. She thinks that’s what I was doing by rushing for the remote.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I didn’t turn it off, honey. This is just a commercial. I was turning the volume down because it was so loud. Shrek will come back on in a few minutes” I say.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Did it break?”, she asks. It does sometimes happen at home that Flash or Silverlight implode, interrupt her show, and I have to fix it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“No. It’s just a commercial.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What’s a commercial?”, she asks.&lt;/p&gt;
