i came downstairs later hearing my girl announcing proudly that DADDY SAYS THEIRS NOTHING WRONG WITH TINKERBELL.. Oh boy I should have seen this coming (sigh). My wife in full drone female android mode says, "it's wrong if I say it's wrong" and "it's magic so it's bad". I told her how when I was growing up, I watched Peter pan, THAT'S WHY THEIR CALLED FAIRY TALES!! It's just imagination . She theN went into some tirade about how she draws the line here because where does it end, now what WON'T she watch! I am just dumbfounded. i asked her what has changed? Why do JW flock down to Orlando to see MAGIC KINGDOM?? Why is that ok? (She always talks about going to Disney worlds). i said what about talking animals? Why are they ok? an animal talking is magical is t it? Seems like uncanny powers to me.. Why would we want to imitate the snake in the garden? When I was growing up there was no problem with Peter Pan, Cinderella, Snow Whother the wizard of oz or any other fairy tale. Since th sparlock DVD everything is getting more extreme! I told my wife that I am going to take the blanket back to my coworker and explIn why she can't have it. I'm going to tell her that you feel it's demonic and evil and dangerous for her to play with. My wife said "No you don't need to do that!" We can just give it to another kid! I said if its so bad, why pass on the evil to another? I sarcastically said that maybe it would give a fine witness to my co worker that we return The evil fairy blanket! She said she does not want to hurt my co workers feelings. I said aren't we supposed to tell the truth? She said "I'm just trying to teach her SOMETHING!" I asked "whadisses that even mean? Teach her what?" No response. I was very upset, and now my daughter has seen the difference of opinion. That is FINE with me. I want her to see that it is not ME OR ANY GOD that is restricting her, it is her mother. I want her to see me as a reasonable voice that doesn't condemn everything fun. I then took my daughter to the park to play with some "worldly kids" and hike with her down some trails. She had a ball. When I got home my Borg companion was still acting sullen. She eventually melloed out when she saw how much fun mu daughter had with me. i mellowed out with a dark rum and gingrr beer coctail. MY GOD! why are these people so neurotic and wierd?? Why do I have to be married to and have kids with a religious extremist! I mean tinkerbell really??? this religion IS GETTING MORE EXTREME. Things thst were ok in my childhood are now taboo. The Borg Siemens bent on stripping whatever small joys of childhood there are left away. Everything has to be wrong and dirty. I must be they're for my kids to inject sanity into their lives.
