Phantom of the Opera Debate

So, I had to share my experience with the girls and their fight that they had the other day. I was home sick from church and whenever I am feeling sick I like to cuddle up on the couch and watch musicals. Well, I chose to watch Phantom of the Opera and Brian and the kids came home shortly after I started it so the girls caught quite a bit of the storyline. I didnt even realize how much they were paying attention until the fight broke out about whether she should choose the Phantom or the "Prince" aka Raul. Alaina was pro-Phantom and Aislyn loved the Prince. Aislyn was saying that the Phantom was mean and the Prince was cute. Alaina then responded with, "Yeah, well the Prince has girl hair!" In the end, as we all know, the Phantom was left alone and Alaina was not a happy camper. I was cuddling with her and telling her that it was just a movie and that everything is ok when she said, "When I grow up, I am going to marry a man with half his face burnt off just like the Phantom" So, my apologies in advance to my future son in law. Hopefully we can find you a good plastic surgeon. It is always so fun to see the different personalities in your kids. Alaina has always been so sensitive and empathetic. It really broke her heart that Christine did not choose the Phantom and that everyone was scared of him because of his face. Aislyn, of course, very much enjoyed rubbing it in that the Prince was the winner.

The prince's hair is a little too girly for me. But, good always wins over evil.... sorry Lainey. And in real life the Phantom is way HOT!! :)
