And even kids can differentiate between fiction and real life. When I was a kid a group was trying to get The Three Stooges banned from television. They were concerned that children would try to imitate The Stooges and injure or kill other children. I know I always knew that The Three Stooges were fiction and I could not do those things in real life. That was what made it humorous.
