Darlings vs Discs

Right now the mini-mes are winning. It's a delicate balance between trying to encourage my children to enjoy our CD and DVD collection, while ensuring the little monsters cherubs don't destroy them in the process. Charlotte has recently developed a fondness for Bohemian Rhapsody, and the other morning I discovered both sisters dancing away happily to this Soundgarden track, which is good. I like.

There have been casualties though, mostly due to the inherent difficulty factor for little fingers getting discs out of their cases, and associated leverage issues.

This Muppet Show DVD looks fine right?


Wrong. . .


It gets worse.

Much, much worse.

Having introduced Charlotte to the first Star Wars over the summer, (Ep IV, we do not talk about that other trilogy that happened)  we thought she was ready for Episode V, and the reveal of reveals contained therein. We even had a camera ready. Then we went to put the DVD in the player, and found this. Can you see the problem?


Luke's response to Vader's daddy revelation seemed appropriate at this point. Not that we could WATCH it.


Witness statements as to who jumped the gun (both adults being out of the room at the time) were inconclusive. . .

Charlotte still hasn't seen The Empire Strikes Back.

That's pretty awesome that your daughters like Soundgarden. Sorry about the CD/DVD casualties. My dog has destroyed more than a few of mine. I'm pretty sure he didn't care much about the content, though.

Dogs only care about the crunchy :)

My only angst is that it was TESB, which is kinda hard to replace, and one of my all time favourites. Why could it not have been say, The Cat In The Hat (the Mike Myers version). I would have given treats if that one had been broken.
