Children's interpretation of death ...

Inyureye: Sounds a bit like one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Don't ask me why it was one of my favorites because I can't even begin to figure that out, but it was. You should go rent it... "Audry Rose"

Aw, man, I read that book when I was little - freaked me right the heck out.

Not that I was supposed to be reading it, mind - it belonged to my older cousin, and was on a shelf I'd been forbidden to take books from. How could I resist?

[Inyureye]

What in the world could that book be about? I must go read it. Always in for a good read. Funny. I never had "don't read from that shelf" thing going. I think my parents thought if I was old enough to understand what I was reading, I was old enough to read it. I remember geting a copy of The Godfather and being told to read in particular (this was from a friend) page 91 or something. I don't know if it was a sex scene or if it was the horse's head scene. Equally as "forbidden". Other than that, most books seemed to be apppropriate at the time I picked them up. Audry Rose. OK, gotta try that one. I like the older books.

I didn't even know it WAS a book! Good thing, because I usually like books more than movies, and as much as I loved the movie, I would hate to have that spoiled by a book with a different ending or something.

I suggest the movie instead.

In a dark room, with a large TV.

Alone...


Man, now I'm going to have to go find that movie and rent it... it's been SO many years...

DAAAAMN!

And that is such an obscure movie.

I remember watching it when I was about 7 and it freaked me out. Rented it about 5 years ago and couldn't for the life of me remember why I thought it was scary.

But then I watched the special director's cut of The Exorcist that same night so I was a little skewed in what was and was not freaky. Actually, Exorcist wasn't really even scary to me .. badass movie, but not scary.

I missed being brought up in the time when it would have been. I can certainly see WHY it was such a traumatic movie for its time, but it just doesn't seem to pack the punch it did 25 years ago. At least not to me.

Now POLTERGEIST! ... That's the movie I blame for an entire generations' fear of clowns. I hated that SOB.

and that tree .. I didn't climb a tree for months after I saw that thing ... that was messed up.

I've always thought that IF one of my mares ever has twins, and they both live, and they're both fillies, it would be cool to name them "Audry Rose" and "Ivy Templeton."

Of course, what are the odds of THAT ever happening???

Why not just do it with a pair of fillies that happen to be born roughly the same time?

Surely Indy's thrown foals that showed up on the same day?

That's usually the case...trouble with me was my reading level matured much faster than the rest of me. I was at a high school reading level by third grade.....and I had a tendency to stick my nose in books I wasn't quite ready for, thematically. Sometimes I didn't understand what I was reading....and years later I'd realize what something I read at age seven meant, and feel pretty silly.

This is not my kid....is the story of another breeder that stands several stallions......but it was SO darn funny that I willl share hers as she does not post here. Aside from standing stallions she is an artist and her young daughter is pretty good too. The class assignment was to draw a picture of what your parents do for a living............the picture was pretty accurate except for the very large equine manhood..... . She said it's a good thing her daughter's teacher knew that they did breed horses for a business!
