I've been reading my daughter's Twilight Series books by Stephanie Meyer and enjoying them almost as much as she did. I wish that the last book didn't have to have the content that it does. I'm still enjoying it, but I'm cringing that my daughter read it. She bought the movie, of course, and we all watched it together on Saturday afternoon. My girls are in LA-LA-LA-LOOOOOOVE with Edward and the movie. I wasn't as excited about the movie as they were, but I still enjoyed it.
So they asked me; what movie did you love as much when you were our age? Hmmmm. That is a tough one! My sister can probably answer it for me. Was it Grease? Grease 2? The Freddy Krueger Movies that freaked me out all the way into my adult life? I mean, I know that I loved Michael Jackson and Prince, and had their posters on my wall....but what movie did I adore? It's gotta be right under my nose. Maybe it's buried under my "We Are The World", Cabbage Patch Kid, Purple Rain, Like a Virgin memories. I guess music was bigger back then than movies. Probably because VCRs just became accessible with a huge price tag. Oh, the fun nights when my dad would rent a VCR and the Grease movies...my sister and I would be sooo excited!
My girls are absolutely, positively HORRIFIED that I used to have Michael Jackson posters on my walls. And oh yes, I loved him so.
Now, I do have to digress; I'm so glad my daughters aren't walking around the house singing "Like a Virgin"!!!! For SO many reasons! (um, what do you mean like?) How did my mom get through that?

Laughing at what your daughters think of M.Jackson. I'm inclined to agree with them and I'm much, much, much older.
I like your blog and will be back to read more. Like your sense of humor big time.

The movies I remember - Jaws, Grease, Star Wars (the original). Oh, and Friday the 13th was a biggie, but I hated it!
I realized I was older than dirt (at 26 eleven years ago) when my niece laughed at her mom & I dancing. I had a flashback of laughing at my mom. The shoe was on the other foot. It was not funny. How could she be laughing at us?
I never had a poster of Michael Jackson, but only because Mom didn't allow us to hang posters on our freshly wallpapered walls, but Prince & MJ were equally drooled over. YUCK!!
