a shriek in the dark…
Kung Fu Panda was a huge success. boo was thrilled when i picked her up from school and told her we were going to a movie. her jaw literally dropped, then she looked at me, looked at her teacher, looked at me again, “A Moooovie?” then she did a jumpy dance.
i told her we were going to see a movie about a panda bear and she said there is a panda movie at the movie studio. we bought our tickets and she looked at it and held it like she was charlie bucket. then she got popcorn and sat like a princess while she ate and giggled.
then when the going got really good in the movie, she found something so funny she actually shrieked and laughed out loud. the theatre wasn’t very crowded and lucky everyone there took it to heart that a little girl was thinking that this was The Best Movie EVER!
she scurried on my lap and laughed and giggled some more and by the final scene we both had the belly laughs. and i got the feeling that the people around were laughing and shaking their heads because she and i were having such a good time.
i love it when laughing at someone and laughing with someone are the same thing.
