Last night I submitted my article for consideration to be published in this Brazilian journal! Phew! I'm so glad that I finished everything. I feel really good about what I've written, especially because I had helpful suggestions/editing from J, Ant Bee, and Renata. Thank you! If I get published, it will be because of your sound advice.
I have to admit, though - I'm a little nervous. I feel a quite exposed and vulnerable, since my work is about to be peer-reviewed by the forefront scholars in my field. What if they hate my argument? What if they let me get published, only so they can write a counterargument and debunk everything I said? Have I just sent myself to the wolves? Yikes. On the other hand, though, I realize that this vulnerability just comes with the territory, and I hope it proves to be a good learning experience.
Speaking of wolves, Sam's new favorite story is "The Three Little Pigs." J told Sam the story in an attempt to keep him quiet in the car, and now we have to tell him the story several times a day. He loves to huff and puff when we talk about the Big Bad Wolf. On Monday I decided to show him a YouTube clip from the Disney animation (so he could better visualize the story), and now he asks to watch it ALL. THE. TIME.
If it's been awhile since you've watched the Disney animation, you can see it below. It's funny to watch this clip as an adult. There are some clever things that I never noticed as a kid, like the pictures of hambone and sausages that hang on the wall of the third pig's house. Both pictures have a sign labeled "Father" underneath. Ha ha!

It's so funny that you should post this today. I was at my grandmother's on Monday and she was singing "Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?" to Hamilton to calm him down and it totally worked. So now I have been singing it to him around the house and for some reason he really likes it. I am so glad you like it too. I remember loving this when I was a kid.
Hooray, hooray! I'm glad you got your article submitted. I'm sure you did great. And do not worry about "wolves" with it. You are brilliant. It'd be a compliment that anyone would want to challenge it because it means your argument is sound!
In terms of the video clip, I watched that during a much needed break at work. I remember seeing it as a kid. So funny! I think it is funny about the "father" pictures, too. But, oh, the can of worms that has been opened since Sam has now seen it, right? ;)
hurrah! good luck! congrats on even getting it put together and sent off! hurrah!
