[blparent] Your thoughts on this?

[Jodie and Kahlan]

Jo Elizabeth, I had mixed feelings when I read your message, but the 
more I thought about it, the more I think reenacting it with her dolls 
was a good thing, as long as she didn't have nightmares. When I was in 
school, there was nothing more real for me than things that were acted 
out, not in a cartoon way, but realistically. I've never smoked in my 
life because I saw videos in school of people who couldn't talk, and 
others who showed X-rays of their black lungs. I never took drugs 
because of an assembly we had in school. It was a play where people 
acted out characters who had died or were severely injured because of 
drugs. One girl drowned because she took drugs and thought a little boy 
she baby sat for was calling her and she walked into the ocean. Another 
gouged her eyes out because of things she'd seen while she was 
hallucinating because of something she took. I was much older than 
Sarah when I saw this, but the words and imagery stay with me to this 
day. I hope this visit from the fire fighters does benefit Sarah and 
that she and her classmates don't have nightmares because of the reenactment.
