And for good reason! That Mama Bunny is a bit of a psycho! I mean sure the book’s message is supposed to be one of reassurance to young children: “Mommy will always be there for you” But that Mama Bunny is a helicopter parent on steroids. Whether little bunny climbs to the top of a mountain or turns into a bird and flies away Mama Bunny tracks his butt down.
Whenever I read it I hear Liam Neeson’s voice in my head:"I don't know why you're running away. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for junk food I can tell you I don't have any. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career as a Mama Bunny. Skills that make me a nightmare for runaway bunnies like you. If you come home now, that'll be the end of it and I will give you a carrot. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will hug you.”
Honorable Mention: Norma Bates
No not the woman who raised Norman, but the psychotic voice in his head. What a great reveal this scene has:
Winner: Mrs. Wilson
I loved the show Eerie, Indiana when I was a kid and Foreverware was one of my favorite episodes. Mrs. Wilson hosts Tubberware parties for a brand called Foreverware which promises to keep leftovers fresh FOREVER. Eventually our hero Marshall discovers that Mrs. Wilson makes her twin sons sleep in Foreverware at night keeping them stuck in 7th grade for eternity. A Mom who refuses to let her kids grow up is definitely the scariest Mom in my book. And you can watch it all for free right here Hulu
