Who is she again?

March 7th, 2009

I picked up the movie Open Season 2 Friday night to watch after dinner. Siena and Elliot enjoyed it, and I went through the special features, including an awesome animated video for “Who Let the Dogs Out” by the Baha Men. There were also previews for other kid shows. One was for Holly Hobby , leading to this exchange:

Siena: HOLLY HOBBYYYY!
Daddy: Holly Hobby…who is that?
Siena: She’s a girl…(pause)…I know all about her.
Daddy: Oh, really? What does she do?
Siena: Daddy, she’s for girls. You don’t need to know what she does.

And to be honest, she mostly nailed my feelings about Holly Hobby. I didn’t feel it was appropriate to use the exchange to teach my 4-year-old daughter what it means when you ask a question “just to be polite.”.
