This thread was making me think about all the ooops moments! and how different my kids are. My DS could never watch disney movies or any movies where a character got yelled or in trouble. he would run from the room covering his years. My biggest oops was when he was in kindergarten i was singing "sunrise, sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof. He totally lost it. he started crying and got so hysterical I had to put him to bed early. Now, my DD....was home from school sick during kindergarten and was watching Jurrasic Park...crying during the scene where the kids were being attacked by the Trex, She said "the poor dinosaur....he's just hungry...."
Also got me thinking about dealing with my kids existential crises. they seem so young to be dealing with such things. and so wholeheartedly effected by it. My DS at 6 gave a eulogy at his great grandma's memorial service but the crises didn't seem to hit him until about 6 months later.
