I looked after my friend's DD for the day on Sunday. She is 5.

In the afternoon, I put the original Charlie And The Chocolate Factory on, you know the one with Gene Wilder.

We had a lovely time, she'd never seen it before and really enjoyed it.

My friend arrived and was actually annoyed with me for letting her watch it, because 'it would make her want sweets and chocolate'!! It is a bad influence on children apparently, and when she tries 'so hard' to get her daughter eating healthily, she doesn't want a film sabotaging it!

Shock

It's not even like I fed her DD any sweets!

I saw her this morning, and she said that her DD had been 'hyper all night' after watching it.

I had no idea I had committed such a terrible wrong Hmm

ohh thats weird..... Im guessign she hasnt seen it? Only the "good" child makes it out of the factory. All the other ones who are rude / spolit / greedy come to very bad endings so surely it is a positive film about being kind ? What an absolute freak Also being parnoid abot E numbers surely doesnt translate to allowing you child to watch a programme about chocolate? Odd bod. YADNBU.
