Mommy Issues
I’m babysitting a cute little four-year-old for the second time. She has a teenaged brother.
She has great manners and is always very polite and articulate for a four-year-old. Today, she wants to watch a film, so I tell her to go choose one. She comes back with a new DVD of “Bambi.” She tells me she’s never seen it before. I’m a bit hesitant, but I agree, as I think she is able to handle it. We get to the part where Bambi is stumbling through the snow looking for his mother.
Girl: “Where is Bambi’s mummy?”
Me: “Sweetheart, she died. The bad men killed her.”
There is a full ten seconds of silence while she processes that.
Girl: “F*** that! I’m not watching this s***!”
She threw the remote on the floor and stormed out of the room. Her parents were understandably shocked when I told them!
