I'm Jenny. I'm a movie lover and I want my kids to like movies, too. The first time I took my daughter, May, to the movie theater, she was 6 and the movie was Bambi. I chose it because I thought a cartoon movie would be good for her.
Everything was going just fine and Bambi was so lovely. However, when man killed Bambi's', my daughter became very sad and asked to go home. So we left in the middle of the movie. Later I chose movies more carefully and my daughter watched many great ones. Luckily, she likes movies as much as I do now.
My worry is: Are cartoons really safe for kids?
Once I sat on the sofa to watch a cartoon with my 8-year-old son, Nick. I got dumbfounded when I saw a cartoon character was bleeding (流血) in front of us. The cartoon was like an action movie for adults (成人) !
The next time you take a kid to the movie theater, be careful. Maybe a cartoon isn't the best. You should take the time to watch it first (It's a habit with me.) . Or the kid may get messages he or she isn't ready to get yet.

Dear Mom,
Today I'm going to tell you something special, I know you work very hard and feel tired every day.
Every time you come home and see the dirty house, I know you are very angry with me. But you always say nothing and clean up the house. I feel like dying. I really want to help you, but I have too much homework, and I'm so tired, too, I also want to tell you one thing-I love you so much. I usually talk back to you when you say that I don't study hard enough. But in fact I just want you to praise me more. I will try my best to get good grades and get praise from my teacher. So don't feel frustrated(挫败的) about my grades, OK?
I have made up my mind that I will do my homework as quickly as I can so that I can have time to clean the house, I will watch TV less so that I can have more time to study and get good grades. All these things are for one reason— I want to make you a happy mom.
I love you!
Yours,
Sally
