Low on time yesterday, we conspired to meet at the local pizza joint instead of slog it out at home. Little did we know they’d bust out a wonderful movie that would hold our kids silently spellbound for the ENTIRE meal. (“Matilda.”) If you have kids, or have ever KNOWN a kid, then you have an inkling how priceless that is.
I mean…
I would never do this on a daily basis, but…
it sure was…
So peaceful and easy, having their brains abducted by aliens like that. Or whatever.
And then it was over.





That’s why movies were invented, to abduct your brain so it can have a rest from the pressures of its own life.
Matilda sounds like Roald Dahl, I’ll look for it.
