Chicken

We found a copy of the movie Chicken Run and thought maybe it was time to let Ouest watch these sorts of full length cartoon movies. Twenty minutes into it she was crying.

Why is that man being mean to the chicken?” she screamed with tears welling up and then spilling down her cheeks. Literally screamed.

Ali was with her and calmed her down, but that was the end of that little experiment. This girl does not like mean people, period.

A few minutes later I said to her, “You didn’t like the movie, huh?”

The tears came back immediately and she rambled on in one giant run-on sentence about the mean man and the chicken and how he couldn’t fly but there was a nice chicken that was trying to teach him how to fly but the mean guy… She told me all this with her wet cheeks buried in my chest.

I wonder if she’s ready for The Wizard of Oz?
