Horton Hears a Who
For my daughters birthday part we took all her friends to go see “Horton Hears a Who”. It was a very good movie. I highly recommend taking your whole family to go and see it. Hollywood has butchered Dr. Seuss with “Cat in the Hat” and “The Grinch”. They did a very good job at nailing the feel, story and purpose of Dr. Suess’ story with “Horton Hears a Who”.

As we were driving home, my daughter Emily asked me why the Kangaroo in the movie was so mean to Horton. In the movie, she kept saying, “If you can’t see it, can’t hear it, then it doesn’t exist.” She went out of her way to stop Horton, because he became a threat to her way of life. I explained to Emily that many people have the same belief in our society. If they can’t see it or hear it, then it doesn’t exist. She didn’t understand what I was talking about. So I explained to her that people say that about God. Since they can’t see him or hear him, he doesn’t exist.
Right after I said that my son said, “they can’t hear Jesus because he has a quiet voice.” Kids will say the neatest things.
