The Wizzer Davaz

With Isabelle officially being a Witch for Halloween, she knows the Wicked Witch of the West from my favorite movie. Isabelle was introduced to the Wicked Witch of the West, on a birthday card we saw in New Jersey in July when we went to Auntie Gail's house for her Surprise 70th Birthday Party. Auntie Gail had received an audible birthday card (one of those cards that plays music when you open it) with the Wicked Witch on the front.

Isabelle LOVED it and so Auntie Gail mailed it to Edgewater a few weeks after her Birthday festivities were over. We still have the card and Isabelle loves to hear the music and see the green Witch on the cover.

Isabelle learned the catch phrase of the Wicked Witch, and cackles with delight as she recites..."I'll get you my pretty, and your little DOG too...". She wanted to see the movie, even if she is still way too young.

So I took her to the Library this week to pick up a copy. I popped it in, and the black-and-white portion just bored her, and she wanted a "new" movie on. Then the tornado hit, and she ominously remembered the sand storm that we got caught in this past summer (like FOUR months ago). She was petrified to say the least.

I fast-forwarded until we got to the color portion of the movie when the Wicked Witch shows up and delivers her catch phrase. Isabelle collapsed in a puddle of tears, she was too scared. So we had to turn the movie off. Maybe next year.....

When Ed came home that afternoon, she told him, quite ceremoniously, that she does NOT like that "Wizzer.....Davaz" movie. (There was a deliberate break in the two words).
