They just kissed, you guys.
March 17, 2010Henry comes home almost every day with a book he's written. My kid is prolific. He puts me to shame. Anyway, the other day he came home with a book that, he said, made him "the most famous kid in my class." Because it contained ROMANCE.
This love scene occurred immediately after the girl saved the boy from plummeting off a cliff. Obviously, after that kind of shock, some kissing is in order.
What I love most about this is it shows the lead-up, and the aftermath. For the actual kissing, you'll have to use your imagination. Because no one wants to see that. No one.
It reminds me of when my brother and I tried to figure out how TV actors were pretending to kiss, because obviously they weren't really kissing. How did they hide the thin screen that was keeping them safe from awful person-to-person lip contact?

The best part is the language. "They just kissed." Writers preach "you must show, not tell" but there are exceptions to that rule, especially in good storytelling. The moment of the kiss doesn't matter; it's what leads to the kiss and what happens after that matters in a real love story. The kiss is what adults need to see in order to believe the story is real, kids just need to see the heart.
I know, cheesy. Whatever. I don't care.
And I didn't really cry, my eyes just got drippy for, like, a second.
Smart.
When I was in a high school play when I was in elementary school (they needed a little girl for one part), I was absolutely shocked that they kissed for real on stage! I remember the leading man (who was probably all of 17) had to kiss a girl who was not his girlfriend, while his girlfriend watched from backstage. At the time, I thought it was the most scandalous thing that ever happened in the world, ever. Ever.
Bottom line: Henry is pretty far advanced. It's not until much much later in cognitive development that the young artist will switch perspectives, such as showing the back of a head. I've never seen that, and as a former teacher, I've seen many, many drawings by all different age levels. WOW.
