I put "Bambi" in for Graham for the first time the other day. I gave a fleeting thought to how Bambi's mother's death might be received by him, but I thought it probably would go over his head. I underestimated him. Here was our conversation:
Graham: Mom, what happened to Bambi's mama?
Me: She's gone, the hunters got her.
Graham: What?
Me: The hunters got her.
Graham: What?
Me: The hunters went hunting for deer and they shot her. She's dead.
Graham: Why?
Me: (trying not to laugh at his seriousness). I don't know, they just were hunting I guess.
Graham: I want to watch a different show.

When I let Miss Ella watch it, her response (while crying was) "hunters are naughty, i dont like uncle mike."
ReplyDeleteYou should have said they were hungry, Liz. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI remember watching it for the first time when I was about 8 and I was really saddened by it...his reaction is very grown-up for his age!
