Scary movies

After many inappropriate movies for a kid almost three, William finally found a movie he’s scared of. He’s watched the dementors in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban without a twitch. He’s watched the spectacular failure of the three laws in I Robot. He likes Beauty and the Beast only because it has a monster. And so on. But he was digging through the drawer of practically vintage Disney videos yesterday and found Snow White. When the Queen transforms herself into the old hag and gives Snow White that apple—“Hold me, Mama.” He was watching it this morning again and came running into the bathroom where I was drying my hair, locked the door and grabbed my leg. I guess that means that The Wizard of Oz is out anytime soon.
