Neglected Child

Apr 11, 2010 11:03



About 4 years ago, I admitted something to Adam that made him reel back in shock and horror. He stopped what he was doing, his jaw dropped, and initially he refused to believe me. He came and gave me a big hug and told me not to worry, he would help me as best he can.

I admitted that I had not seen The Lion King.

The evening's plans were cancelled, we ordered pizza, and we lay out on the couch and watched that great classic. We even had a sooky moment during the closing credits to the tune of Elton's immortal ballad. Now I was complete - or so I thought!

The same thing happened yesterday. I admitted, rather sheepishly, that I had not seen The Little Mermaid either. Adam was now quite incredulous. In fact, I then admitted that I still have not seen quite a few classics, including:

  • The Sound of Music
  • Cool Runnings
  • A Goofy Movie
  • Pocahontas
  • Toy Story
  • 101 Dalmations
  • Bambi
  • Gone With The Wind
  • The Godfather (1, 2 or 3)
  • A Clockwork Orange
  • Fantasia

  • To name a few. I'm sure there are more.

    So Adam made me sit down last night and watch The Little Mermaid with him. He can't believe I was so neglected as a child. So we sprawled out on the couch and watched it, with chicken wings and beer. Bless :-)

    ...I've got some catching up to do!
