So a disclaimer first of all. I love my daughter with all my heart, and she loves me. I'm not a perfect parent, who is, but I've raised her to this point in her life (seven years old) relatively unscathed.

Until today that is.

My daughter and I are very alike, we like the same type of films, music, comedy etc. She's also inherited my dark SOH and love for the more unsavoury things in life. Case in point. We recently watched Star Wars Ep IV and she made me pause it on the scene where Luke's aunt and uncle are killed, just so she could count the skeletons to ensure they were dead.

But today I took that love of the macabre too far by showing her this video NSFW by the way. (TL;DR a girl catches her leg in a bench resulting in a rather nasty looking - and sounding thanks to some additional sound effects - break). It's once of those videos you watch and automatically wince at. And without thinking I leant over to my daughter and said, look at this!

The first hint that this was a mistake was the look on her face, a look of absolute shock and horror. One I've never seen before. Not when Judge Doom got steamrollered in Roger Rabbit, or when the baddie got beheaded in The Kid who would be King. I whipped the phone away, but it was too late, she burst into tears, wailing loudly that now it was in her head forever, FOREVER!

Honestly I feel absolutely terrible. I know exactly what she means. I can still picture the melting Nazi's from Raiders or the library ghost from Ghostbusters. Both childhood memories that stayed with me for all the wrong reasons. And now I've done the same to her. Realistically, I know she'll be ok, but right now, wow do I feel like a fuck up!

TL;DR my daughter was all broken up by a Reddit video (although not as much as the girl in it)
