Have you ever played a strategy game where the units survived long enough to age?
That's the joke. He expected her to ask "Who is Wednesday Addams?", not "What's a child?"I start to feel the same, though my fuse burnt out a bit later, when Parson mentioned Wednesday Addams to Wanda.

(The reference could still fired at us with a thought bubble, instead of telling).
