My grandchildren are blessed with more than any child needs. They are being raised by responsible parents who help them develop a good value system, but they still get a large amount of whatever they want. I asked daughter what to get my little gal who will turn 4. She suggested two Barbie videos which I ordered over the net.
One arrived before our trip and the next after we got back. The second one was "Barbie and the Diamond Castle" in case you were interested and are still reading this post. It arrived with a rattle and when I opened the package I discovered the case lock had been broken and was rattling around inside. I looked at the DVD and saw it looked scratched on edge in several places. Therefore, I had to run it to make sure it was not damaged. An hour of watching lovely princess types with perfect flowing hair and perfectly fitted clothes sing and dance their way through life is much more than I can handle, so I put it on and ran it in the background while I went upstairs to work on photos. I could hear if it was working correctly from there.
About 40 minutes later I wandered down the stairs to get something to drink and saw my husband sitting on the sofa, watching the animated feature...watching...really... I was speechless and like a good sport, I did not say a word! I did drop a hint on FB...;-)

Grandchildren. They are very versatile. Our Nate played with a snail and a ladybug. Our Miles with some gravel and a big rock. For AGES!
ReplyDeleteWell, you know he has a soft, feminine side. Or wait.... is that a second childhood? [grin]
ReplyDeleteOh, you ARE a good sport!
ReplyDeleteI think all men like animated movies. Doesn't matter what it is as long as it's a cartoon. I bet you shook your head and giggled when you went back upstairs.
ReplyDeleteHa! That definitely brought a laugh from me. Men!!!!! What they will do is surprising sometimes!!

That gave me a good giggle! Then my eyes watered because it is kind of touching.
ReplyDeleteThat is funny, and I have caught my husband in a similar situation. Or maybe he was sleeping.
ReplyDeleteAnyone think he might have been lusting in his heart for Barbie?
ReplyDeleteOh my. I was just sitting here grinning. LOL
ReplyDeleteHi there, I just got on Facebook... How do I find you?
ReplyDeleteSomeone said that my wrens were auditioning for the Rockettes... ha ha
I notice my hubby watching some 'children's things' also on TV at times.. Funny, aren't they????? HEE-MEN of course!!!!! ha
Hugs,

any guy will fall for a princess - a Barbie princess is even better, what with her magical, impossible proportions...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he was just stunned, aghast, stupefied, unable to move,frozen by the sheer sugary sweetness.
ReplyDeleteYou are so good. I would not have been able to resist having a little fun with that one.
ReplyDeleteWell, perhaps he was thinking of writing an essay on American pop culture. This was a serendipitous research opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny. I do think I would have been unable to avoid teasing him about it. You are very kind.
ReplyDeletePriceless image and great set-up!
