Personal Musing #1; "Don't Blink"

The SciFi Chicklets meet the Weeping Angels

So, just thought I share a personal musing about my SciFi Chicklets. The musing is funny, a little scary, but luckily all turned out well. My daughters ages 9 and 10 have been watching Scifi and Supernatural themed shows since they were little. They have never really had any "freak" out moments when viewing Aliens or Monsters. WELL.... They have recently have gotten into Doctor Who and since my oldest child's best friend dressed up as a Weeping Angel this Halloween they asked if they could skip ahead and watch the episode Blink. I agreed and I am sure you Doctor Who Fans probably know what comes next...

It's not until the end of the episode but as you know the Weeping Angels do quick, jerky cut aways to the "scary" faced Angels. The first time my girls saw this...

all HELL broke loose in my house! 

One child was sitting at the table eating pizza she THREW her pizza across he room, screamed and flew into her daddy's arms! The other child, who was sitting next to me screamed and started to cry. I felt so bad! My little Scifi chicklets were truly freaked out! LUCKILY, the screams and tears quickly turned into laughter and all was fine. But, for about 10 seconds they had their  very 1st "that scared the crap" out of me moment! When we talked about it later we all laughed so hard more tears came to our eyes... but not the sad or scared kind but rather the was hilarious kind of tears. The flying pizza part of the story had us howling in laughter. The Chicklets are now die hard fans of Doctor Who! Some times a little scare gives enough of a trill to make a return viewer!  Well, played Sally Sparrow! You had us at "DON'T BLINK"!
