It's 6:20...what are you doing?

Want to know what I did? Come on..I'll give you a clue...

"There comes a time in the life of all humans when uh... well as they put it... uh, the birds and the bees? Or well... uh... the stork? You know? Uh, no... "

still don't know?

Here's a giveaway...

I watched Lady and the Tramp!!!!
....only one of my favorites ever <3<3<3

Here's some fun facts:

Peggy Lee, the voice of Lady, is also the voice of Merriweather in Sleeping Beauty, and Kanga in Winnie the Pooh

In the climax of the picture, Jock and Trusty bring down the dog catcher's wagon, with Tramp inside. After this, Jock discovers that Trusty has been injured and pinned under the wagon. Jock is very sad because Trusty was originally supposed to die in this scene. That is why Jock nudges him and he does not rouse. When Walt Disney viewed this scene, he was shocked. Walt did not want a repeat of the traumatic scene in Bambi (1942). He thought it was too intense. Walt then made the animators put Trusty into the end Christmas scene to reassure the audience that Trusty was simply knocked out and injured in the previous scene.

"Darling's" real name is never used, even her friends call her "darling" at the baby shower. It is unclear if that's her name or an endearment

Though it is partially based on a story called "Happy, the Whistling Dog", this is considered the first fully-original Disney animated story.

The mischievous young puppy at the end of the film (the one who resembles his father, Tramp) is called "Scamp". He was featured in a children's book and, in 2001, his own direct-to-video film.

The idea of Lady being given as a present in a hat box came from an event in real life. Walt Disney gave his wife a dog the same way.

Before animating the fight between Tramp and the rat, animator Wolfgang Reitherman kept rats in a cage next to his desk to study their actions.

In early script versions, Tramp was first called Homer, then Rags and Bozo. A 1940 script introduced the twin Siamese cats. Eventually known as Si and Am, they were then named Nip and Tuck.

Peggy Lee helped promote the film on the Disney TV series, explaining her work with the score and singing a few numbers.
