At school we are doing Little Shop of Horrors, which means that I have been listening to the music a lot in preparation. As a result, the girls have started asking questions. 

“What is Skid Row?”

“Why does the plant like to eat people?”

“What does ‘semi sadist’ mean?”

So it brings up a lot of questions. A lot of them about how scary the plant is. I thought the best way to answer that was to just get them to see it. 

Today the whole family went to see the puppets. They had a great time looking at them and playing with them. Liam just had fun scooting around the big empty stage. McKelvey’s reaction when I opened the mouth of the biggest plant was:

“It’s like a rowboat with teeth.”
