JUST KIDDING!

Actually, I was thinking of adding a third screen that showed me watching the little girl watching the movie. I'm with lamp_shade on this. Of course, I get that way with movies, too. And I'm not even a little girl. Nor do I need a diaper change.

Even back whenI was a kid - very sensitive, empathetic - and I learned that my emotions made others uneasy. So I stuffed them down. That is never helpful.
