'fall' for the lessons in Disney's animated classics. They say that every child learns from their mother- and it's ingrained from babyhood. I get real funky about the classics. I don't like (my sons) watching (the original Snow White).

The 'Girl on Fire' hitmaker said every time she watches White happily performing domestic duties for the seven little men in the film, she gets angry. "There's nothing wrong with a woman, who chooses to stay at home with her family, it's a hard job, but it's the way it's spoken about," she said.
