It’s kind of a gloomy, wet day, so I’m letting Boo watch television instead of go outside. Disney is showing “Bambi”, which I haven’t watched in years.  Here are some lessons I see in it:

• Baby animals are cute
• Winter is fun
• Never cross an open area without proper surveillance and overwatch
• Owls are crabby bastards, but I can identify with them
• Women can make you act really stupid
• Always leave a fire guard or douse your campfire

Seriously, it’s a good movie.  Yes, it kicked the antropomorphization of forest animals that Beatrix Potter started into high gear, and every year I get the “But you’re going to kill Bambi!” speech from those who don’t like hunting, but it has good messages about friendship and family.
