The other day we watched Bambi.
It taught us some lessons.
Owen constantly complains about dinner. He hates it, it's disgusting, he doesn't want to eat it.
After spewing these words out of his mouth Shane reminded him to just keep his mouth closed and channeled Thumper by saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Owen then realized that Bambi actually teaches us a lot of good lessons. "Another lesson," he recounted, "is that we shouldn't shoot animals because look what happens." We all solemnly nodded our heads thinking about poor Bambi's mother.
And then, perhaps another lesson I hadn't really thought of before, Owen said, "And it also helps us to see how Abraham Lincoln must have felt."
Mmmmmm-kay. I hadn't really thought of comparing the shooting of animals to the shooting of presidents before, but I can see a connection here I guess. Good point. May we all refrain from shooting animals AND presidents because "Look what happens."
Bambi is so much deeper than I had ever realized.
