Finding out Nemo is a bit difficult to explain

So - everyone talks about "Finding Nemo". Kids love it, they wear T shirts and have stuffed animals. Our kids had never seen it and didn't know what it was. So, I thought - why not - let's give it a try -and I got it from Netflix.

I watched it a little to make sure it was ok. And I tried to watch it as through K&O's eyes. But you can never really see it through someone elses' eyes.

So we're sitting there watching Nemo. It starts off with the mommy and papi clown fish living on the edge of the reef with all their hundreds of baby eggs (and one of which they name Nemo). Then a barracuda comes along, kills the mother and eats all but one of the eggs (Nemo). Sheesh! Of course they don't show it, but ugh!

Cut to the next scene and 1st grader Nemo is going off to the first day of school. Where he is promptly kidnapped by a Scuba diver and taken from his papi. The "Finding Nemo" part ensues.

Yes, yes, I know, it's a nice story about growing up and learning and loving, etc. But sheesh - how do I explain this to my almost three year old adopted twin boys?

So - I skipped over the missing mommy part, the Scuba diver part, the chasing Nemo part and the school part and it came out something like this:

Owen: "Papi. That papi fish so sad? Why he so sad?"

Papi: "Well.... he only has one baby and he wants two babies. Just like Papi has two babies. I am so happy I have two babies. And that papi fish wants two babies just like me."

Owen: "You're so happy you have two babies?"

Papi: "Yes, I am so happy I have two babies."
