The kids were watching Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) on tv the other night. They love that movie, L says it's 'magical and so creative'. The chocolate theme must help. I should stop calling them 'kids', more 'teenagers'. L drove them to their tennis party the other night and even gave a couple of friends a ride.
Here's a funny joke for you:
The Navy Chief noticed a new seaman and barked at him "Get over here! What's your name sailor?"
"John" the new seaman replied.
"Look, I don't know what kind of bleeding-heart pansy junk they're teaching sailors in boot camp these days, but I don't call anyone by his first name," the chief scowled. "It breeds familiarity, and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my sailors by their last names only; Smith, Jones, Baker, whatever... And you are to refer to me as 'Chief.' Do I make myself clear?"
"Aye, Aye Chief!"
"Now that we've got that straight, what's your last name?"
The seaman sighed. "Darling. My name is John Darling, Chief.."
"Okay........ John, here's what I want you to do......"

Oh we love Willy Wonda also! I remember being about 10 or 11 and going to the movie theater to see it. It was wonderful then and wonderful now :o)
I LOVE Willy Wonka. Although Johnny Depp's version wasn't bad, I am still a fan of the original one. Brings so much fun and joy to my heart! :)
