We like creepy though, they've never really been fearful children. They love Monster High, the Corpse Bride and tattoos, they're all obsessed with tattoos which isn't shocking since their parents and aunts and uncles all have at least two of their own. So they don't really see the world through rose colored glasses. I read them a poem the other day by Shel Silverstein where anyone that looked at the picture supposedly died and Peyton (4) started laughing because she understood it wasn't meant to be silly and that yes it was dark humor but a child still sees the humor and they enjoy that part. She didn't immediately cower in fear for her life. I think it's contingent on the parent but my parent encouraged me to read anything and everything that I liked I'll admit my mom cringed at the cover of the 8th Lemony Snicket book entitled the Hostile Hospital but she knew I loved to read and bought it for my anyways. And I'm thankful to have had such an open minded parent. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222136218723353667noreply@blogger.com
