There is a family made film making folks smile. It shows the reaction of two youngsters who meet their Christmas favorite character, “Grinch”, when a “Grinch” suddenly comes through a hedge. Sudden panic flight!
I recall the times we innocently took our children to events that had the same results. My eldest grew hysterical when at a pancake supper for Kiwanis, a person dressed as “Aunt Jemima” attempted to serve her. ( she never forgave us and “beejeemama”). My son refused to sit on Santa’s lap and screamed when my mom dressed him as a Court Jester in full face makeup and showed him in the mirror before he went “Trick or Treating”, he totally lost it. So, I suppose all parents have had similar experiences. Funny now, but not so much then, donchaknow. ( I expect comments from “All My Children”, by the way) And that’s what I get from My box of chocolates. AMEN
