the ambassador of Christmas spirit
October 9, 2005
A father blogs about his two-year-old daughter's odd taste. It goes like this:
Gollum love
Hellboy love
Freddy love
Santa? hate hate hate
...we were beside this Halloween booth where the Michael Jackson video “Thriller” was being shown in a huge screen. The scene where Jacko suddenly grimaced in pain while slowly transforming into a hideous werewolf didn’t seem to bother Frances. But when these juggling clowns on stilts suddenly showed up, she started panicking and screaming that her ear piercing voice reverberated throughout the hotel hallway, practically drowning out the venue’s PA system...
Aside from clowns, Frances is also terrified to death of Santa Claus. Yes, she is horrified at Santa Claus, the ambassador of Christmas spirit, the very icon of the yuletide season...
But what’s really weird is that my daughter somehow likes creepy characters like the skinny and vile Golum from "The Lord of the Rings". She even does impressions of Gollum by crawling on all fours while whispering, “My preshooosh...” There was this other time I was flipping through channels and briefly saw “Jason Versus Freddy” and she demanded that she wanted to watch it; she eventually cried her lungs out when I refused.
