Disney is The Universal Language of Six Year Olds Everywhere
They don't care about boycotts and drama.
I’ve not really kept abreast of the news of the day, but there’s been something to do with Disney and folks are boycotting them. I think Jimmy Kimmel is involved but I’m not sure so you’ll have to do your own research on this.
But this isn’t about politics or other dramas.
This is about six-year-old girls and their love of all things Disney and the fact that they don’t care about politics at all.
What they do care about is Disney Movies and today while I was driving people around in my little blue car I had the pleasure of having a young couple from Russia in the car with their six-year-old girl.
This little one was smart and full of questions.
And she wasted no time asking me them.
Up first was my name, so I told her.
Then I told her that I have a little girl about her age. This piqued her interest and she wanted to know where she was (at school) and what her name was.
I asked her about her name and she told me and then she proceeded to tell me all the things she was going to do and the fun she was going to have in Niagara Falls.
I replied every time with “neat” to all the things she was going to do.
She asked “What is this neat? I don’t understand” and I told her it means
”fun” or “great” or “awesome”
Then she responds “Oh, you mean like Hakuna Matata?”. I replied that's perfect and then she proceeded to rhyme off all the other Disney movies she likes and has seen.
Also - princesses are her favorite.
“Same Here”, I replied.
It doesn’t matter where you come from around the corner or around the world when you’re six you don’t care if some CEO did something that made twitter explode in controversy and boycotts and other drama that nobody will remember next week.
All they want to do is watch Frozen on repeat - and that’s an idea I can get behind.
Until Next Time,
TH and Co.
