Annie and Hallie have been a huge part of my life for over 12 years. It only seems right honor their 24th birthday in style. Although Jackie might have been mislead into thinking that this weekend was about her marathon, the countdown was truly for this most excellent of days. Naturally the wolf pack had movie night and chose "The Parent Trap." While watching, cinematically, we became very concerned over many elements of the film...
Why do they let the boy stay ALL SUMMER?
Why was Hallie crouching behind the duffle bags?
Why does Annie turn around?
Who thinks letting the bride wear a top hat is a good idea?
Do you have to wear Camp Walden gear all the time?
Why was the whole camp escorting them to the Isolation Cabin?
How did they get that kid from those parents?
Does Mere"death" know how to knit?
Was Annie invited to the Wedding?
Why did they not make this into a musical?
If anyone can offer answers to these mind-boggling questions, they will be our best friend forever. Sarah, the talent manger, will make provisions to indict them into the pack asap. In honor of this day, Sarah and I had an Annie and Hallie moment on the El. We grabbed the handles and apparantly stood up at the SAME time, Bingo. All these moment and it wasn't until the end when we realized the Natasha Richardson was no longer. Sad day.
Besides celebrating, we learned an important lesson today. VHS's have magical powers. They make you forget that they are buzzing for the last ten minutes, as long as the movie is a 90's cult classic. If you know all the words, the sound doesn't really matter now does it? In the end, the only important thing is to rewind, then you know you are a grown-up, that takes responsibility.
And for your viewing pleasure, a reanactment.
i LOVE the top hat for the stylish photo shoot, but not for a REAL wedding...
