Watch A French Father Explain To His Son How Flowers Fight "Bad Guys"
Video of a father explaining to his son the effectiveness of flowers in the fight against terror has gone viral, because it is beautiful and heartbreaking and very, very adorable.
During Le Petit Journal’s news broadcast on Monday, a reporter asked a young boy for his thoughts following the recent terror attacks in Paris.
After expressing despair over now having to “change homes” (as in, leave Paris), the father consoled the boy by saying they wouldn’t have to leave as “France is our home.”
As of this writing, the clip has been viewed more than 13 million times.

I saw that it hadn't been subtitled in english yet, so I made a quick edit to show the rest of the world how freakin awesome some of our citizens are. They're my heros. I feel better too now! #paris #bataclan #parisattacksImages and interview are a courtesy of Le Petit Journal .

The Huffington Post has translated the entire exchange, but you really should just watch the video for the full effect. (Then, cry forever.)
The death toll from the attacks on Paris stands at 129. On Monday evening, the Eiffel Tower began beaming the colours of the French flag.
