I keep waking up with Alvin (the chipmunk) singing "Don't Cha" in my head, which is wrong on too many levels to even process. You're welcome! :D

I ask because you called it predictable, so I was just wondering if it was predictable but somehow managed to avoid all the racism.

(and lest you think i only sniffled at the white folks getting to feel good about themselves, i got a significant amount of teary over michael realizing his own potential. i mean, he wasn't a dumb useless kid, he just had to figure out what he was capable of.)

Re: Your sniffling
Getting teary eyed that once a white family got involved, the child in need got a chance to figure out his own potential - does that include getting teary eyed about all the kids who don't have a white family come charging to play savior? Who get discounted and continue to be discounted and grow up and are still discounted?
Did you -mean- to come across as saying 'My liberal heart hurt for the poor black child. I wasn't just all awwhing at the white family's noblesse oblige. My awwh is equal opportunity/colour blind'
