Several years ago, my 11 year old (now) stepdaughter's bio father was killed in an auto accident.

We were ready to go the the memorial service & I asked my wife if she had the camera & our daughter started crying & blubbering "No pictures, no pictures."

Took about 15 minutes, but we finally figured out she had just watched a Star Wars movie & she thought we were going to watch his body be burned like Luke burned Darth Vader's in the movie.

The saddest thing was that she was cool about going to see it, but didn't want any pictures of it...
