AHAHAHAHAHA! I occasionally have the same problem with Icons & teh Kiddoes. I once had to try and explain this one here above to the younger one of my kids (YK was six at the time). I was gracefully dancing around the fact that I write about these characters, and sometimes an author asks the characters to do something to forward the story-line, and the Characters say "Pardon me, but I really don't wish to do that! Not my cuppatea, y'know?"
YK asked, "What sort of things don't they want to do?"
Before I could respond, 10 year old EK piped up from the other room, "Boys kissing each other."
"Oh. Okay," replied YK and asked for the next icon, with such an "eh, so what." attitude that I just left it at that. Because really, isn't that the summation of slash writing, right there?
Don't worry, BTW. You handled this above, perfectly. My kids love the "Nemo" one, too. The school knows how to handle little kids singing inappropriate lyrics, and you've explained to Daniel that it's not something to do at school. School will just figure he's occasionally exposed to modern Western society and its media.
