Raina goes to the movies
Eric’s work comrades invited the family to see Kung Fu Panda on Sunday. The female adults respectfully declined, but Raina jumped at the opportunity to go. When she came back she had plenty of stories to tell:
- She was so impressed that she got a ticket, and she handed it to someone, that he ripped it easily, and then gave her a piece back. She cautioned me a lot: “Don’t rip the ticket anymore, Mommy!”
- The ticket had letters AND numbers on it. This was mind-boggling to Raina, who is slowly recognizing letters and numbers everywhere she goes.
- She got her own seat. And she sat in Daddy’s lap. And she pushed her seat up and down. And then she sat in her own seat again.
- The cow didn’t go into the movie theatre because she didn’t have a ticket.
- In response to the movie, she said, “The Good Guys hit the Bad Guys.” Now, I admit, I was worried that the film would be too violent for Raina. Earlier this summer she watched a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode with us and Raina was very confused. Buffy kept hitting people but nobody told her she was wrong and nobody put her in time-out. So I asked Raina if the good guys LIKED hitting the bad guys. Her response: “The good guys hit the bad guys, but they didn’t want to.” Good enough, I guess.
Overall, the majority of her stories were about her ticket. And since it cost $5.75, it was worth many stories!
