I recently read Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Mateo. He is intrigued with evil vs. good and, like usual, death vs. life. We had this conversation yesterday:
Mateo: "Mama, if I go to Disney and I see Snow White and her (step) mom, and the mom changes into a wicked witch with her big nose and her cape, and if she gives me a delicious apple with venom, will I fall to the ground?"
Paty: "Mati, Snow White is a book. Someone wrote it and made up the story, it's not real."
Mati was CLEARLY not convinced because again he posed the question. If you can, imagine him moving his hands to further express or accentuate his point.
Paty: "Well, you know Mati, you shouldn't accept food from people you don't know."
Mati: "But what if the witch, with her magic wand, changes into a really nice mom and she gives me the apple with venom? Will I fall to the ground?"
Paty: "Disney doesn't let bad people in."
Mati: "But what if they don't know she's bad?"
Paty: "Well, if you go to Disney and you see Snow White's mom and she gives you an apple with venom and you eat it, then YES, you'll fall to ground. But don't worry, my kiss will wake you up right away."
Mateo: "Hmmmm .... okay mommy."
THE END.
P.S. He's so obsessed with the whole venom subject, that he now asks if what I'm serving for lunch or dinner has any venom. I put some aromatherapy oils in their bath and he also asks if that's venom. He cracks me up!
