No, I shouldn't have expected him to know the history, but even when I was twelve, I knew the Soviets were scary guys. That's all gone, and it was a small shock to confront that.
My wife (also a gamer) and I would kid that our kids would be popular jocks, and horribly embarrassed by their geek parents. So far, not so, but only the oldest one is interested in games.
