OZ
I watched The Wizard of Oz tonight with my son Aidyn. It was interesting and fun watching it through a child's eyes again. For one thing I didnt' realize that meeting the scarecrow, tinman and Lion happened so quickly after each other. As a kid it seemed it was much more time between the moments they met. Also it kind of freaked me out that Dorthy ran away because they took her dog. As a kid I remember it mad COMPLETE LOGICAL sense for a girl to run away from home because her dog was being taken from her, as an adult I forgot that. Dorthy did alot to save her dog. I even remembered what it felt like to have your puppy climb up onto your lap and curl up and sleep. I haven't had a dog since I was 20yrs old. I am 37 and have no plans for a furry friend (too much work) but tonight when I saw Toe Toe climb up on Dorthy's lap I remembered my dogs that have passed and how much I loved them. Also having my second son Aidyn watching the movie with me was ........... magical. Man that kid is so like me. I don't know if that is a good thing or not. But it is sure nice to have someone who likes the same things as me for a change. Anthony (son #1 and Todd (husband) are NEVER into the things I like. Well Ansen and Arris (son #3 and 4) were invited to watch the movie too but they decided to go and watch another movie in their room.... whatever screw teh bond with MAMA LOL
It was an eye opener watching the movie again after many years. Interesting and fun. I am glad I watched it with Aidyn. He told me he wants to watch it again next weekend with me and that he loved it. That's my boy.
Maybe I will get us tickets to go see Wicked at Aidyn's next appointment in Toronto. I know I will be close to tears watching it with him. He is such a great kid (they all are) but it is times like this that I see their individual greatness......... the things that make them unique from one an other. Make them Anthony, Aidyn, Ansen, Arris and Avery. Not just son #1,2,3,4,5. I might have 5 boys but Man there is NOTHING the same about them.
I am now watching 12 Monkeys staring Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis (who I named my #1 son after cause he is so GREAT.... middle name not first)
It reminds me why I like Brad Pitt as an actor. He plays CRAZY really good.
