Emma's Dark Side

As I've mentioned before on this blog, Emma's a big Grandma Ginger fan. Ginger Yule is my mom's institute teacher and has put out stories on CD that she's told to her grandchildren. For Christmas my mom gave Emma Volumes 1-3 of Grandma Ginger's Bible Stories. Emma has listened to them every night since we got home and is fascinated with the stories. She quotes lines and tells me her own summary (which no one unfamiliar with the bible would have a clue what she was talking about). The one Emma has been most taken with is the story of Baby Moses. She tells me constantly that they killed the babies. A little boy I was babysitting today was going down our slide and she was pretending he was sliding into the river to be drowned. Then when we got in the house she grabbed our scarves and wanted to tie up the boys to pretend they were babies to be killed. I reminded her we don't tie people up-yes we've had to establish this rule before (Emma actually ties some really good knots). I'm glad she makes the scriptures real in her life but this a little troubling. She also was intrigued by the story of Samson and couldn't remember what made him strong but remembered that they poked his eyes out after they capture him. Do I need to find a G-rated version of the bible for my little girl? She's been watching a Nephi video too, so she told me today that I was being wicked (because I got on her for not listening or shall I say hearkening) and she was going to have to go somewhere else. She wasn't joking. The force is strong in this one, but sometimes I see flashes of Episode 3 coming out of this girl.
