bathroom talk

Have you ever seen the movie Bridge to Tarabithia? It is such a good movie for older kids. When John was 4, I remember taking him to see it at the movie theater and I cried through out the second half of the movie. Sad, but good. It was on the other day and John, Sam and I were watching it. There comes a point in the movie where this bully whose name is Janice is making all of the little kids pay to use the bathroom. Well the main character, Leslie and Leslie's friend's little sister (wow- did you get all that) have had enough of Janice's antics. They promptly march over, with a crowd of kids following, yelling "free the pee". Funny, right?? Not so when your 7 year old son announces "free the pee, free the pee, free the pee" as he makes his way to the bathroom. I guess I shouldn't have encouraged this behavior by laughing but it was funny. Genius actually. Now he knows what to do if any bullies at school hassle him when he needs to go!
