We are a little obsessed with Ghostbusters around here lately. Big Boy has watched it everyday since Halloween and is now a learned expert on the finer nuances of the movie. He told me today that he really wanted one of his best friends to come over and watch it with him.
"Well buddy, not all moms and dads want their kids to watch scary movies. Ghostbusters might be too scary for her."
"You can tell her mommy that it's just pretend."
"Well, maybe you can come up with some reasons that she should be allowed to watch it."
And for the next ten minutes he laid out his reasons why all four-year-olds should be allowed to watch Ghostbusters. Here are some of my favorite.
1. The scary lady ghost in the library will be nice to you if you will just be quiet when you are in the library.
2. The marshmallow man monster is really funny and he is not scary at all.
3. The Ghostbusters are heroes because they protect all the people from the ghosts and monsters.
4. New York City is really far away from our city. It is all the way past China so those ghosts in that city can't get us in our city.
5. The skeleton ghost in the taxi is not a ghost. He is just skeleton. Skeletons are real, but they don't really drive taxis. That is just a pretend part.
6. The song for Ghostbusters is really funny and she would like to sing it with me.
7. The Ghostbusters have really big guns.
8. The green ghost gets boogers all over the Ghostbuster's face and that is really funny. Boogers from a ghost!
9. The scary dog is the scariest part, but you can cover your eyes and pretend it is a nice dog.
He also managed to unknowingly eat an entire plate of food while he was distracted by all the talking and that is a major accomplishment also.
