I have got to say as I sit here and watch the annual viewing of
The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown...
it dawns on me about all the wonderful gems in it.
it is lifes' true lesson!!!
check it- Sally here is infatuated with Linus- a co-dependent blanket loving boy.
He has a great heart, and is waiting in the 'most sincere' pumpkin patch.
Now- where this notion of the Great Pumpkin came from- dunno, but he believes this pumpkin dude is supposed to bring toys and whatnot to the children's.
Anywho, his sis Lucy thinks he is crazy-
for sticking to his beliefs of this pumpkin patch...
and she tells him in a sisterly way.
Charlie Brown,
as good as a friend would do,
tells him too, but lets him go about his business- cause men.
SO basically it is Sally-
the love-struck lil sister of Charlie Brown
who volunteers to forgo trick-or-treating
[henceforth acquiring her own sweets & treats]
to 'stand by and support her man' in his dream.
Suffice it to say, when no great pumpkin shows up-
she is highly upset, and unleashes a rant on him
which includes a demand for reparations
I HOLLERED!
why, at this age is this such a true life/love/relationship advice?
well a few things
1- there was no proof of the pumpkin- only his belief & his words. Now, facts have proven that for several years there is no pumpkin- but she foolishly believes him.
2- baby girl while she wanted to be there with the dude, but she also wanted her own. So she forgoes her needs and sacrifices for him.
3- when it turns out that ain't nothing happen- as in there is no great pumpkin, she wasted her time, she could have been enjoying herself with what she wanted to do
Life lesson- don't follow a man for your happiness- you have to get that yourself.
Let's not even go about the life lesson Lucy taught Charlie Brown about contracts and notaries!
Again, I hollered!
that's all...
