The older kids and I watched Marley and Me tonight. I was a little nervous about how they would handle the ending, but I thought they would have fun watching Marley's antics. And boy did they! One of my favorite quotes during the movie was H laughing and saying, "Mom, isn't it so funny that they covered Marley's head so he wouldn't see them kiss and roll on the bed?" (Ah, the innocence of youth!)
Then it happened. Marley started to get sick and H said, "Mom, my eyes feel like they are going to cry." And cry she did. Hard. And Marley hadn't even died yet!
After the movie she was very subdued. She even told me she didn't think she'd be able to sleep very well because she thought she might cry all night.
If she gets that worked up about a dog in the movies, can you imagine if it was HER dog?! And that, my friends, is one reason we don't have a dog.
For the record, K wasn't phased at all. Granted, he really wasn't paying attention, but he didn't really care that Marley was sick and dying.
