A touching video of a French father reassuring his young son after the Paris terrorist attacks is making its way around the internet.
A French reporter from Le Petit Journal asks the young boy if he understands what has happened.
The boy speaks of the "baddies" and their guns until his father explains to him that the terrorists may have guns, but we have flowers.

Journalist: Do you understand what's happened? Do you understand why these people have done this?
Boy: Yes, because they are very, very, very bad. Bad people aren't very nice. And you have to be very careful because you need to move house.
