![]() ![]() I don't like Disney for a variety of reasons. So I am careful not to correct their play unless it is hurtful to one of them. Grampa died in 2007 and their Grama is 75 years old already. I haven't corrected them because I know they are processing the possibility. I'm not quite sure how it all goes but this is what they call it. They take turns being a good grama to each other and then grama dies. They also play a "Dead Grama Game." I'm not sure why they call it this since they are usually pretending to do all the fun stuff they do with their Grama. I do gringe when the story comes out in their play and they say, "I'm going to cut your head off." or "I'll put you in a barrel full of nails." But I also know this is how they process it. I don't tell my kids this but they will know soon enough. ![]() There are real people getting their heads cut off. I know some parents are shocked and dismayed at the originals but the thing is the world is harsh. It is scary to little ones when it's not water-down like the newer stuff but they work through it. I don't have to lecture about it, they know. The kids automatically pick out the right and wrong just like Charlotte Mason said they would. I read Grimm's tales to my kids and we like many of them. George and the Dragon too, which is a favorite of ours. This is a great post! Trina Schart Hyman illustrates a beautiful version of St. ![]()
