As posted previously, Marie is going through a bit of a princess stage. She knows all about them, memorizes the songs, actions to the songs, specific movie parts, yadda, yadda, yadda. Lately, this healthy little obsession is going a step further...she is actually analyzing the movies now and asking questions.
"The Little Mermaid" is always on her mind. She comments on how her aunt Keri has red hair just like Ariel, how she has legs and sometimes Ariel doesn't, and how "mean" Ariel's daddy is. Because we don't own the movie, Marie only watches it at Gramma Nel's house. After our visits, Andy & Marie have gotten into some heated discussions - comparable to debate sessions - with the topic being, "Who is right - Ariel or King Triton?"
The conversation goes something like this:
Marie: "Ariel's daddy is mean to her." Andy: "He is not being mean, he is trying to keep her safe." Marie: "Well she wants to be on land." Andy: "But she needs to follow directions and make good choices." Marie: "But she loves Prince Eric." Andy: "She needs to listen to her Daddy because he knows what is best." Marie: "Yep, her daddy is mean."
Something tells me we are going to have some VERY interesting teenage years with our girl!
