I am glad your kids turned out well. However, you may owe them an apology for allowing the master manipulators at Disney to completely mislead (lie) you into using lemmings to illustrate your point.
snopes.com: White Wilderness Lemmings Suicide
"Lemmings were imported for use in the film... The rodents were placed on a snow covered turntable and filmed from various angles to produce a "migration" sequence; afterwards the helpless creatures were transported to a cliff overlooking a river and herded into the water... The entire sequence was faked.."
The snopes story is worth reading. No more accusing people of acting like lemmings.
