As the only female child in the Poulsen family, Joelle has taken on some interesting characteristics. First of all, she hums the Star Wars theme songs everywhere we go. A couple of weeks ago we were at Costco eating a cheap lunch and there she went humming and pseudo-fighting her invisible storm trooper. A man turned around when he heard the song, and did a double take when he realized that it was a small girl kicking some storm trooper butt. I shouldn't say that Star Wars is the only song she sings/hums, she also is quite taken with Indiana Jones.
Earlier today I was watching the Borne Identity and she walked into my room. I quickly paused the movie, and the first question she asked is the same thing she asks anytime I pause a show. Here's a sample of the conversation- which was quite long.
"Is it scary?"
"Yes."
"Are there monsters?"
"No."
"People kicking babies?"
"No."
"Eyeballs popping out of heads and other people eating them?"
"No."
"Is it appropri-ANT?" (appropriate is an often used word in our household)
"No."
"Can I watch with you?"
"No."
"Are there guns?"
"Yes."
"Blood?"
"mmm hmmm."
"Ooooh, you shouldn't watch 'cause you're gonna have light mirrors (night mares)."
I turned the movie off...
