Coraline

I'm sure most everyone has seen the movie Coraline. Well, it absolutely TERRIFIES Mylee! I mean completely and totally freaks her out! And that is so not like her! When I saw previews for it, it didn't look that scary so I didn't think anything of it when we rented it for the kids for them to watch when it first came out. Well Mylee started BAWLING when the "other mother" turns into "evil other mother"! And she demanded we turn it off. So we did. Ever since then she has had nightmare after nightmare about that other mother! We had to cover her vents in her room and everything because she was scared the other mother would come through there! Well since then she has almost forgotten about it....or so we thought!
Mylee has been DYING to get her ears pierced again. We pierced them when she was 2 and then when I was having Moriah Shane's mom had her for a week or so and she let them grow in. So she really wanted them re done. So finally we took her to get them done. She was very excited. We went into the place, picked out her earrings and had her in the chair. Well the girl that was doing her ears came up and Mylee completely froze! She had this terrified look on her face. We weren't sure what was wrong with her, she looked way freaked out. So I asked her if she was sure she wanted to do this and she didn't even move or speak she was just staring at the girl with tears in her eyes. So I got down to her level and asked her agian if she wanted to wait and do it another time. She still was just staring! The girl wasn't very nice and she was getting impatient and grouchy. Then Mylee in a very shaky scared voice said to the girl, "have you seen Coraline?" The girl said "yes." Then Mylee turned to us and said, "I think I want to do this another time." So we agreed. Walking out of the store Shane asked her what was wrong and she said, "Dad that lady really looked like Coraline's other mother before she turned to the evil looking lady. Except for the button eyes. But everything else she looked exactly like her. And I was thinking, I don't want someone who looks like Coraline's other mother piercing my ears!! She might decide to put buttons in my eyes too!!" We both tried so hard not to laugh. But when we thought about it, the girl kinda did! And it didn't help that the girl wasn't very nice. Anyway, I just thought that story was funny and worth sharing. So I guess we are going some place else to do her ears. Are anyone else's kids terrified of that movie?? This is a picture of the other mother before she turned evil looking......
