The Blind Side

So, I know people think I am a little crazy because I am so careful about what movies I let Derek watch. Derek has been wanting to see The Blind Side for months. All his friends have seen it. Everyone has told me it is okay for Derek to see. Clint and I finally got to see it last night. We decided that Derek and Davis could watch it tonight.
Here is why I am so concerned with what Derek watches:
1) The eviction notice on the door. He asked what evicted meant. I told him. He held back tears and told me that made him sad that he did not know where his mom was.
2) When the dude told him his dad jumped off a bridge. Derek = Sad.
3) When the teacher told him that there were body parts under the Tennessee football field. Derek said that might give him nightmares.
He hasn't seen the end yet. They had to go to sleep, but he went to sleep with tears and feeling so sorry for Big Mike or Michael. It made him so sad that it really happened.
Derek kept asking if it was a real story. I told him it was except for the body parts under the field. I had to explain to him that she made that part up because she wanted him to go to Ole Miss.
The kid can't just watch a movie. He has to think about every single part of it. This is why he doesn't get to watch a lot of movies. I am not a crazy overbearing mother, my kid can't just let stuff go.
Katrina news almost sent him over the edge and My Dog Skip had him crying and asking questions for 30 minutes after the movie was over. Nothing is in one ear out the other with him.

Davis on the other hand watched the movie and the only question he had was "I'm thirsty, can I get some water?"
