Yesterday, I had a
conversation with Lilly. Lilly is seven
years old. We talked about the usual
things: her big sister, rainbows, sandhill cranes, a kitty app for her cell
phone, and huckleberries.
The huckleberry part of
the conversation was my idea. I tried to
talk about Scotch whisky, but she would not have it.
When she mentioned
something about a song from the movie Frozen—she
knew all the words—I said: “I have never seen Frozen.”
Lilly was aghast. She opened her mouth and swayed her head
back. “You have NEVER seen Frozen?”
I am sure she wondered
how a human on her favorite planet could survive without Frozen. Did I not breathe
the same air? Was I missing a
heart? Brain Damage? That was the first time in my life that I felt
perfectly awful about not seeing the movie Frozen. I was completely out of her frame of reference.
Apparently, sixty is not
the new seven.

I LOVE Frozen....lol I think I would have seen it even without taking grandkids. And The Croods, and The Secret Life of Pets....Despicable Me 1 AND 2....Inside Out...
ReplyDeleteIt's not that sixty isn't the new seven....it's that animation is the new Oscar contender. LOL
I most often go to the movie with two of my (boy) high school buddies. I am going to have to work on them before dragging them to most animated movies. But I will try! Colleen will likely be an easier mark.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...maybe I should start liking animations.
ReplyDeleteI like animations. But watching Frozen never even occurred to me.
