Change Their Movie Watching Habits… Now!

(I’m at my friend’s house, playing with her two daughters, who are six and nine. We’re playing with their dolls when the older daughter suddenly drops her toy and looks at me very seriously.)

Older Daughter: “Can I tell you something? Are you good at not being surprised by weird things?”

Me: “Yeah, of course.”

Older Daughter: “I’m comforted by the thought of being eaten by tarantulas.”

Younger Daughter: *cheerfully chiming in* “I like dying in car crashes!”
