I've tried to be honest with Julia about things. Living out in the country with a lot of animals to care for, I've had to talk about death with her a few times. It's hard, but honesty really is the best policy. Beautiful post, Dana.

Disney does bump off a lot of their characters. Last night we watched the Fox and the Hound -- right away Mamma Fox was shot. UGH!! Cheryl, I hear ya. Now as a mother I find myself crying over all kind of kid's movies! WI Mommy, that is so true! Disney does bump off a lot of their characters.

My mom likes to tell the story of when I watched Frosty the Snowman. When it came time for Frosty to die, I ran screaming and wailing downstairs to where she was in the kitchen. I cried all afternoon. I think I was seven. I still can't talk about that experience without getting a little upset. // I have no idea what we'll tell our babies when it's time to talk about death. I haven't really had a loved one die on me (except for pets), so when it's Ben's first time, it'll be my first time too. I still can’t watch Bambi.

Someone gave me a copy of Finding Nemo when I was pregnant (I hadn't seen it yet). I never made it to the end. Between the unfortunate ending of Nemo's mom to the poor little lost fish (plus some serious pregnancy hormones), I was sitting in a puddle.
