Movie Date

I just LOVE movies, but unfortunately my son is a cinephobe (and has transferred some of his sensitive tendencies to his younger sister). So all those classics I had longed to share with them have been gathering dust in the video cabinet, and I thank heavens for small mercies when Im's teacher infects the class with Poppins mania...

Nonetheless, my darling daughter had agreed to watch ET with me when L was at camp, so one of us at least (me) was ratcheting up the excitement over our Thursday night movie date. But then homework refusal looked like dashing my dreams, until Irkustk stepped in and saved the day.

A very precious evening together, despite closing with heartbreak ...
