So the next 10 episodes of #Bluey to finally hit Disney+ have a side character child dog dealing with a past occurrence that scared the hell out of him through play.
Watching with 16 tonight he wasn't tearing up, I was, and he said, "What's wrong?" And I said, Nothing at all, and that's why it's beautiful.
??
I said- "First grade?"

I said remember in first grade when I couldn't leave the house to come pick you up from school because of hail and tornado warnings and when I finally got to the school you were clinging to your teacher under the overhang and I got out of the car to come get you and a bolt of lightning hit right behind me and I kept coming to get you?
He said, "No, I don't."
And I said, That's because you expressed it through play.
#Bluey
People will laugh.
Let them.
I knew my child knew what time it was, was under an overhang watching the weather, and was freaking out that I forgot him.
And I made sure he knew that I didn't.
Anyway please stay the fuck in your car if you hear thunder and ask that your schools keep the children INSIDE THE FUCKING BUILDING FOR PICKUP DURING ELECTRICAL STORMS.
Thanks.
