Alison dragged me to a matinee of "Happy Feet." About half way through she pointed out a little girl in the isle in front of us, covering her ears to the 'scary' part. The little girl had blonde hair, held back with a barret. She had all pink clothing.
A little later she pointed out two small feet sticking straight up in the air; she was small enough to lay straight down on the seat. It was hilarious because as soon as Alison got my attention, the little girl howled, "Woah!" to a part in the action. It was as if the part had blown her head over feet in her seat.
At the end of the movie, the penguins tap dance. One of them yells, "We need to Dance! Dance now!" And to our amusement, the little girl danced twirls in the isle, utterly taken by the drama.
I could see Alison's great amusement in her childlike behavior. It was so cute.
I thought to myself that Alison would do so well with a daughter. She wants four! It's such a far away place from where we stand now. And I was saddened to think about it. But I love children. I admire their simplicity and their lack of inhibitions. And I look forward to having our own. Somehow I know we'll have girls, and I know they'll look exactly like Alison. Well... I'll pray for that.
It was a lot of fun today. I am glad she made me go.
