My Girl
This happened about a week ago, but I forgot to post it until now. I was looking for a movie to watch and I saw that My Girl was on. I decided to watch it and wanted Tyler to watch it with me too. I feel bad now, but at the time, I was thinking that I would be interested to see how he would react to this movie. So, I asked Tyler to come and watch the movie with me. At first he didn't want to, but then he saw the kids and got sucked in. At the part where the boy gets stung by the bees, Tyler was franticly asking, "Why doesn't he run mom? Why isn't he trying to get away?!" After that scene it shows his glasses lying on the ground and Tyler asked, "How is he going to see now?" Of course at this point I am bawling. In the movie, the dad tells the little girl the boy is dead, but doesn't just come out and say it, so Tyler missed that. When they wheel the body out, Tyler asked who is that? I told him that the little boy dies from the bee stings and it was so darling, but very sad - he responded with his eyes watering and his face turning red, "Oh mom, that is so sad." The way his said it was just so precious and innocent. I felt horrible for letting him watch the movie, but glad to see how sweet and caring he is. I of course explained to him it was just a movie and the kid was just pretending. I showed him the boy on Home Alone so he could see everything was fine.
