Lessons on Jealousy

Yesterday Snow White was on. Mikey has never seen it before (not too many princess movies in this house of boys.) So Mikey was kind of watching it on and off. At one point he suddenly turned to ask me a question.

Mikey: What does the mean lady want to do to Snow White?
Me: She wants to kill her.
Mikey: Why?
Me: Because Snow White is prettier and she wants to be the prettiest.

He stopped and thought for a minute. Finally he said,

Mikey: Well that's dumb. Just because someone dies it won't make her any prettier.

No duh! (Yes, I just said, "no duh.") Such a simple concept! Why is it so hard for mankind to understand that?

So proud of that little logical brain of his :)
