Oh yes, she deserved a good authentic cream cheese bagel!

Yikes, that 6 yr old must have no fear or nightmares.

I remember Gillian saying she showed an episode to her kids when they were too young and she was surprised at how scary they found it

reason to believe · 02-23-2021, 10:26 AM

Yeah, they had nightmares for weeks!

They were not trained to embrace the scary stuff like Piper had been

FrellingTralk · 02-23-2021, 10:27 AM

I can’t remember what episode it was now, was it Bad Blood? I know that she talked about figuring that it would be okay because it wasn’t such an obviously scary one, and then they got really freaked out to her surprise

Penny Lane · 02-23-2021, 10:44 AM

It was Bad Blood.

What 6 year old are you talking about, Leanne?

reason to believe · 02-23-2021, 10:54 AM

The non relevant one in that tweet.

Penny Lane · 02-23-2021, 10:59 AM

Oh lol. Well some kids like shows like that. I was into dark stuff as a child.

Me too. I watched The Howling when I was 7.

(and I still thought the werewolf transformations were effective recently

)

I remember my sister wanted to take me to see Beauty and the Beast when I was little and I preferred A Nightmare Before Christmas lol.

I remember my mom treating me to a movie when I was 11, and I wanted to see The Lost Boys (vampires) but my mom took me to something else "appropriate" so I missed out on that one. By 11, I had already seen "The Omen" and "Don't Look Now".

My mom would have hated that movie.

Penny Lane · 02-23-2021, 11:29 AM

I think 11 is a good age to watch that though.

reason to believe · 02-23-2021, 11:36 AM

yeah, but the mormon thing was in the way for me to watch what I wanted

Penny Lane · 02-23-2021, 11:39 AM

Ok so David's new book is right up your alley then.

reason to believe · 02-23-2021, 11:42 AM

Yeah, I'll listen and see if he did his research. Although I was in the mainstream which didn't discuss or practice polygamy or was so fundie as that branch off. The book is on hold for me on CD as soon as its ready!

Penny Lane · 02-23-2021, 11:44 AM

I'm sure he did his research.
