Movie Day with Jack & Molly`

So yesterday I went to play with Molly and Jack. They were worn out from their long ride to Houston and back. So I thought maybe a movie day would let them chill and just lay around the house. I take them to Family Video - If you never been to one - do go! Before we even go in Jack sees "THE SIGN" - "FREE MOVIES FOR KIDS!". I couldn't believe it - but there is was big as daylight! We go in there is a Hugh (bigger than life) incrediable HULK ! Jack was won over by this video store. It was true - all the free movies you wanted - - - and you could keep them for 7 yes 7 days!! Now, Nana was won over. So Jack picked our Mario Brothers and the store manager told him to go ahead to pick another one - so he got Batman annimated. We looked and looked for Molly - then she said, "Nana, this is over whelming, please just pick one out for me!" So, then I looked and looked and decided on Heidi. She or Jack had never seen it, and it had been years since I've seen it. So, we get 2 tubs of popcorn, cotton candy and 3 movies - all for $6.13....can you believe that!!! Next, we go to the Sonic, pick up lunch and head home. I can hardly wait to see Heidi - (sorry Molly - I really picked it out for me). Well we settle down and get all situated - Jack watches Batman, the we start Heidi. I knew I got it in the "G" section, but really had forgotten most of it. Than Jodi joins us - well, let me say - Heidi gets given to an "Old man" which the entire town hates, but he is her grandfather, then her mean old aunt comes back and sells her to a family, all the while Heidi is crying for her Grandfather, then the house keeper sells her to a band of Gypsies, and grandfather gets put in jail. I tried my best to convince Jodi that this movie had a happy ending - which it did, but the part of the movie I forgot seemed to be the most important part - human trafficking - kidnapping - resisting arrest. Which I'm sure that maybe this might not have been the best movie for Molly and Jack - BUT....from a Nana's standpoint they did really enjoy the movie - even cheered for Heidi and Grandfather as they were outrunning the cops!!!!!! What a great day it was!!!!! Love, Nannie

Hilarious, nana! Selling Heidi to the gypsies was the worst part to me by far...but I must admit it did end happy. Thanks for coming to rescue me so I could write. I am slowly getting there!
