Me: “It’s about girl named Dorothy. She’s trapped in her house during a tornado. The tornado takes her to another world and the house falls on a witch. Dorothy and her dog spend the rest of the movie trying to get home. She thinks only the Wizard can help her. She has to find the wizard. She follows a yellow brick road and meets a scarecrow who wants a brain. A robot who wants a heart. A lion who is afraid of everything and wants help. They all join her hoping the wizard can help them, too. And there’s a green witch chasing them!”
Elliot, age 4: “What happens? Do they find the wizard?”
Me: “You have to watch to find out.”
Elliot is fascinated by tornadoes, especially because he learned about them first from his book “Otis and the Tornado”, and then I showed him videos of real tornadoes a few months ago.
