Moonchild logic

[velvet_c]

So, Moonchild is now afraid of a couple of things, which is sad but also a source of amusement when you hear her logic.  Here's an exchange from last night:

V: Can I sleep with you, Mommy? (she's never asked to do this before)
Me: Why, honey?
V: I'm scared of the polar bear.
Me: Honey, there are no polar bears in the house.
V: There's one polar bear.
Me

I love those conversations! I remember a few years ago Robin was convinced an alligator might get into the house, and it took much discussion to convince her that it really was not a danger here...

I think we've been singularly lucky in this respect.
PuppyBoy is not fond of being left alone in a room, & also
dislikes the dark - but that last is at least understandable.
But WombatGirl has been singularly phobia-free (I was
worried when 9/11 hit, because she was old enough to
know something was wrong, but she actually took care of
it herself. She suggested that we all get dressed up in
different clothes, so they won't know who we are, & then
go downtown & given them all fake money, to fool them.
We were very impressed.)

y'know... that's not a bad reason to be afraid of polar bears. let us not forget about that idiot that decided to ignore that reason to be afraid of grizzlies for that reason and decided to go live with them -- even thoough they are big and go RARR! He is dead now. Moonchild is smart.

But... perhaps she merely needs to be reintroduced to Mohnkern.. he is big, but only rarely goes "Rarrr".

let us know if a stuffed Polar Bear would help... after all, we would not want her to fear the totem..lol
