Are there Munchkins in the Midwest?
I was watching Wizard of Oz, with my adorable, almost 3-year-old, and she was excitedly telling me everything she knew about the movie as it was happening. And this little tidbit jumped out at me: “Did you know that the Munchkins are all from Michigan?” she said. “Oh, they’re from Michigan, huh?” I replied already laughing out loud. “Yes, they’re from Michigan because they are called Michigankins!” she stated very seriously, before moving on to how the “Good Witch Linda Was Coming!”
Is that great or what?
Oh, also at the very end of the movie when the witch is chasing Dorothy and gang around the castle, Ella all of a sudden got up and turned off the TV. At first I thought she was scared because she was acting jumpy during the chase. I asked her, “Don’t you want to see the ending?”, she cooly said “Nah, they melt the witch, i’ve seen it already.” and was off to bed.
That is funny!!!
And you didn’t even mention how she asked if Eva was a munchkin the other day!
Oh yeah, because there are babies in diapers in munchkin land, she did say that tonight too.
