I took Belle and Emily to see a local youth theatre production of The Little Mermaid. The girls were fully engaged and behaved appropriately. Emily stood captivated the whole time, and then fell asleep five minutes into our car ride home.
Near the end of the show, when King Titan, a male mermaid, gives his daughter Princess Ariel away to a human Prince Eric, Belle turned to me and said, "I wish Daddy was here." "Why?" I asked. Then Belle revealed her perspective on the story of The Little Mermaid: "Because this play is about a girl and her daddy."
Beautiful.
