When Amy said yesterday what happened after she and Stella were watching a 8SR episode, Amy claims that Stella "stood up on the bed, raised her arms and said, 'Drop 'em!'". I know I didn't say anything like that when I was 5! I'm not saying that she's not 5 and she's an alien posing as a 5 yr old, that's just stupid! But I am saying, how did she get these ideas? I think I figured it out, though... When Jack meets Terri and Jack doesn't want to drop his pants, Terri laughs and then says "Drop em". Hmmm... What do you guys think?

My guess is that usually a child that young isn't really distinguishing life and death very seriously. I remember reading on the first John In Touch Weekly issue where there was a box mentioning what happens with children at that age. It says that others have to help her out because she will think if she wishes hard enough, kids will think they will bring the person back again. How sad... :(

The other day I was just thinking about how it would be like from 10 years from now when Stella is 15 and how people will interview her about her lovely father. They'll probably ask her, "What do you remember best about him?" and those types of questions.

I was also in tears just watching the promo on Entertainment Tonight. I recorded those clips, and I also recorded the clips on Inside Edition. I basically just lost it and had such a red face during the part when Amy was talking about how she and Stella were watching the last episode and how Stella was saying "Bring him down" and how she tells Amy "anything is possible if we try." That just totally broke my heart to pieces. Such a beautiful, sweet child thinking so well but something impossible.... :(

Actually, it was "drop 'em", but, i understand

Also, Amy didn't say that we can try, Stella did. Amy was trying to tell Stella that it wasn't possible and Stella said "what if you never tried".

Thanks for the clarifications. I was trying to remember what I saw from the airing last night. I missaid a couple of things. Ooops... :D

That's really sad how kids believe they can wish for things to happen. I mean, I wish they COULD. Poor little girl. :(
