I'm a good mother.....

[pat]

Within the span of four days I have taken kids to see The Simpsons movie and, God help me, Transformers: The Movie. With the latter, I knew I was in for a long two hours when it opens with a character talking about his grandmother's alligator etouffee, and then starts speaking in Spanish.

I will say that a) the transformers themselves were pretty cool (although I found the Decepticons (bad transformers) more interesting than the Autobots (good transformers)) and b) it was nice that they had a female romantic interest/sidekick who was tough, independent, mechanically inclined and who wields a mean reciprocating saw.

You've gone from being a good mother to entering the realm of *exceptional* mother :).

Spanish???? Umkay.

(If you want to see Ratatouille and want company, I'd be happy to see it again. I'm working tomorrow and Thursday and Friday and Saturday, but maybe a Sunday matinee?)

I'm sorry for not calling. I am woefully behind on, well, everything. I start work tomorrow... :( I hope you are okay. Hang in there! You are a good mother. You are a good friend too.

Yeah, that was one of my favorite aspects of the movie as well.

So how was The Simpsons movie?

And, have you seen Hairspray yet? If you haven't, want to go catch it together sometime? I think it's PG-rated, so it might even be something to take the boys to as well.

When we went to see Evan Almighty, a preview for Hairspray aired, and echidnaboy asked "What does segregation mean?" after seeing a scene with people carrying protest signs that read "End Segregation." So, it definitely piqued his curiosity / political sense...
