Conversation on the way home from school

Me: Hey girls - what would you think about me putting on a movie for you to watch while I take care of the dogs and make supper?

Posey: Do-wa* (translation: "Dora!")

Bee: My princess video

Me: What princess video do you mean?

Posey: Do-wa!

Bee: Um. You know. My, um. Cinderella!

Posey: No! Do-wa.

Me: No, Posey, I think we watched Dora last time. It's Bee's turn to choose.

Posey: Do-wa, Do-wa, Do-wa.

Bee: Where is her Mom and Dad?

Me: Who? Dora's?

Bee: No - Cinderella's

Me: Well, before the beginning of the story, it says her mother died when she was little...

Bee: Did she have surgery or something?

Me: Um. I don't really know that it says specifically what happened. But her mother died, and her father got married to the Stepmother. Then the father died, so Cinderella lived with her Stepmother and Stepsisters.

Bee: Hmm. He shouldn't have married the Stepmother.

Me: You're right.

Bee: He should have married a NICE girl. Like Cinderella's mother.

Me: I agree.

Posey: DO-WAH! (Translation: Why do they even waste their time making any movie or TV programming that doesn't revolve entirely around Dora? What is wrong with the entertainment industry? Dora is the highest form of creative endeavor. All princesses must bow before her adventuresome glory!)
