Little Ariel

A little background for the next story:
Josh has always loved MacGyver. A few years ago, his mom gave him a season on DVD. Since then it has been his mission to collect all of the seasons. We finished with the final season for Christmas. Through all of this, the kids have also come to like MacGyver. It is very action-packed, so some people are surprised that I let my kids watch it. But, MacGyver doesn't swear, drink alcohol, use guns, etc. So I figure he's an okay hero for the kids. Anna has fallen in love with him. When the opening credits are playing with the music, she will kiss the T.V. screen. We don't actually encourage her infatuation, but it keeps growing. Her latest is that when she grows up she is going to marry MacGyver and live in his house. Every once in a while she thinks of something that could alter her plans, like maybe he's too old and will die before she grows up. Now that you know of her infatuation, you will understand the humor of the next story.

Anna just finished watching "The Little Mermaid." She has always really liked that show. She just came in, quite sad, and cried to me "When I grow up, I will miss Little Ariel." She is often dramatic, so we just brushed it off saying, "You won't miss little Ariel." She kept crying about it, however, so I finally asked "Why will you miss Little Ariel?" She replied, almost hysterically, "Because there are no stores where MacGyver lives." She was worried she wouldn't be able to buy her own copy. Josh told her she could take our copy and now she is happy.
