Our Sensitive Daughter

Lily is a sensitive soul. She doesn't like it when frightening things happen. She gets upset.

She doesn't like reading Hairy McClary because of Scarface claw, the toughest tom in town. "No. Close it" she says, halfway through. She doesn't like the Winnie the Pooh video because that's too frightening. And she doesn't like the book I have just bought her because a goat dresses up as a ghost and frightens the farm animals. "Don't like goat book" she has been saying sporadically throughout today. And then sometimes bursting into tears.

That girl needs to toughen up.
