Movie Review of "Kung Fu Panda 3" . . .
6-year-old: "I wish you didn't bring me to this movie."
8-year-old: <absolutely terrified of the bad guy>
9-year-old (the panda-obsessed child): "That was a GREAT movie!"
Discussion in the car after watching the movie Kung Fu Panda 3 . . .
L.: "Why did the mommy panda hide her baby in the box and then run away? Why didn't she take the baby with her?"
Me: "Because the wolves or whatever were chasing her and she was afraid they'd catch her and kill her and the baby so she hid the baby to keep him safe."
S.: "But why didn't she just keep her baby and not stop running? Why didn't she try to outrun the beasts?"
Me: "She didn't know if she'd be able to outrun them or not and she wanted to make sure that her baby would be safe no matter what happened to her."
S.: "I don't understand why she'd do that for her baby. Why would she risk her life to keep him safe?"
Me: "That's just what parents do. They sacrifice their lives if that's what it takes to keep their children safe."
S.: "I still don't understand."
Perhaps someday you will, dear daughter. Perhaps someday you will.
