The other day one of the girls walked into the kitchen bawling her eyes out. She was so upset she could hardly tell me what the issue was. Once she calmed down a bit I finally learnt what the problem was.
I did initially think that she or her sister had hurt themselves and we might need to take a trip to the hospital. Thank goodness it wasn't the case.
The kid who was extremely upset told me that she was very sad that Amy Pond and Rory had died. For those that are not aware of these names or characters, they are in Doctor Who. Yes my girls take after hubby and I with their love for the Doctor.
I tired so hard to make her feel better but she kept on saying things about Amy and Rory like they were real people...... OH gosh... what do I do now???? She is a sensitive little bunny and these things upset her. I was like her as a child.
One thing that I did say was how about we watch the next episode to see what happens....So I will do that with her to see what happens next. From memory all works out well....but she does not know that.
Although I was shocked at her attachment and upset for the characters of Doctor Who, I had to think back to what I did when I saw this episode for the first time.
I did the same thing. Yes I cry and get very upset. I do the same thing when one doctor dies and he morphs into a new person.... I get to love and like the doctor and I don't want them to change at all...However it does change and therefore it means more upset from me and now from one of my girls.
It got me thinking about that saying "That awkward moment when you find yourself being frustrated with your child...For behaving just like you."
I am getting annoyed that she gets upset easily...however I have completely forgotten that I do the same thing. It is major to a child if their favourite characters die in a show or a book. It is very upsetting as an adult too.
I made sure that we had cuddles and kisses and talked about it, she felt a bit better after some nice mummy cuddles.
