Yesterday the girls were watching Peter Pan as we drove home from Savannah. Campbell, our three year-old, was intrigued but frightened by the violent antics of Peter Pan and Captain Hook. We had recently read an abridged chapter book version, so both girls were familiar with the plot line and excited about watching the movie version.

Campbell: Uhhhhh, Mommy, this is scary. Captain Hook is scary.

Me: Oh, punkin‘, remember the crocodile is going to eat him soon.

Chris didn’t get my attempt to comfort her.
