day 2 ~ a favourite movie

image from here 

 

This is a hard one for me because I'm

one of those really annoying people who say

"oh but the book was way better!"

in a very snotty, sanctimonious voice.

 

The movies I liked most was whatever I went

with my kids to see.

Going to the movies when you live in a country town

is a huge adventure.

 

We would talk about it for a few days before.

We would get up nice and early to prepare.

We would then begin the hour drive to the closest theatre.

 

If we were early enough there was time

to just sit in the foyer and people watch.

Yes we are creepy people watchers.

 

My kids would then wait for their brown paper bags.

 

Brown paper bags?

 

Whenever we went on a long car trip I would make up

brown paper bags with some lollies and pencils and paper

and sometimes a little toy like a kaleidoscope or a small puzzle.

I would do a little drawing and put their names on the bag

just like my mum did on our school lunch bags.

 

Anyway I did the same for our yearly movie trip

but it would just be a few lollies and juice

as we all loved to have the movie popcorn.

 

So while this post really has nothing to do with

my favourite movie it has something to do

with my favourite people , my kids.
