Messed up Disney & Wade's Intuition

As Tangled is a preferred show to watch at our house, I have come to deeply analyze points of the plot.  Indulge me, please.
1.  How on earth did Rapunzel plan on getting back into the tower after leaving to see the lights?  She didn't know about the trap door.  Did she think after 18 years of just walking around her little room she'd have the upper body strength to climb that wall as Flynn Rider did?
2.  Did you realize that only ONE of those twin thieves ever speaks?  The one with the eye patch/scar never says a word.  Ever.
3.  Did Mother Gothel build that tower?  Where did it come from?
4.  Why the heck did Mother Gothel want to live so long?  Obviously she didn't have any friends, and lived in seclusion.  For hundreds of years!  Was she that afraid of dying?
5.  Let's be honest.  Rapunzel needed some serious therapy after the movie is over.  She finds out she's a princess, loses the Mother she's always known (watching her shrivel up and fall out of a window, no less!), and has suffered years of manipulation and emotional abuse!
What the heck??
But really.  What Disney "bad guy" isn't manipulative and emotionally abusive?  We just rented Lion King from the library and Scar is the same way to little Simba.  Wade loves watching the lions, but says "lion sad" all through the movie. Or "Lion died"  Gosh, depressing!

Anyway on to un-depressing things like this little man!  On his 2nd bday, celebrated last week, he received some Play-do from the neighbors.  (and balloons)  After having a little taste test and showing him how it works, we made horsey figurines, of course.


 And then we made them kiss!  Well, Wade did that all on his own, actually!  Hahaha.  I started making our dinosaur figurines kiss everyone when he was little instead of them being really scary and mean.  It stuck.  We have nice animals at our house, although sometimes they still "roar" (which Wade does so, so well)
 Wade got a rub-on mustache from his Dad one day.  Wade didn't mind one bit.
This guy is a sensitive one.  I have felt that from him since before he was born.  He can tell something is about to change.  He has wanted me to hold him lots, and sit on my lap, and cuddle!  I am loving it, of course, but it does pull at the heart strings a little bit.  You'll be fine, Wade.  In no time, you and little brother can play and be friends all the day long.  He pulled out the little baby rocker chair from my room yesterday and as he sat in it, I said, "Hey Wade, who's chair is that?"  He smiled real big and said, "Baby....MINE!"  Hahaha.  Hopefully he will be willing to let Baby Hank sit in it once in a while :)  

Me and Perris CAN'T WAIT to meet the baber.  I am so excited!  I feel so lucky and happy to be able to have 2 children.  Yahoooooo!

  1. I'm glad you have analyzed tangled as much as we have. My observation is how did they get up the tower before Rapunzel's hair was long enough to climb up it, because if they used the secret door then that would mean that Rapunzel would know about the secret door, and defeat the purpose of needing her hair to pull her mom up every day...also I agree with the serious need for therapy, maybe we've just both worked with lots of emotional girls for too long..haha!

    1. HAHAHA Emily this made me laugh out loud. What a great point. We should accumulate everyone's ideas and then send it to Disney and tell them to make their stories with more emotionally sound people/and emotionally safe environments.
