kids going wild
[email protected]
These are quotes from an article on the Michael Jackson trial, and it's an
interesting that that such information could be court testimony. They're not
crimes, but it's still interesting to see. The first quote is from a
maid/housekeeper who worked there for ten years, until 2003 (I think). THe
parenthetical notes are my own, the rest is from an article online:
"With the absence of authority figures, these children became wild,"
Fournier said. Jackson's child guests were allowed to watch movies, eat as much
candy as they liked and stay up as late as they wanted.
. . . .
Mesereau (defense attorney) also asked Fournier (former housekeeper)
whether, given that Neverland was designed to be a fantasy land for children, it
would be surprising that "they would go a little wild."
"No, that would not be unusual," she said.
=======================================================
It's a fantasy land for children who don't have such great lives otherwise, I
think.
My house is a fantasy land for children (but without the ferris wheel or
whatever all) and my kids watch movies, eat all the candy they want, stay up as
late as they want and they do NOT go wild.
Interesting juxtaposition.

the filter of the person doing the reporting. Perhaps this woman would
look at your household and describe kids "going wild" there because she
simply disagrees with kids having that much freedom ;) Eating candy and
staying up late might have been "going wild" in her book.

From what I also read, she was talking about the children running all over
and destroying things too. Making a mess by actually breaking things and
throwing things. That's what I thought she was referring to as wild.
