I went to see Despicable Me with my adult daughter yesterday.
I can count on her, she me, to have a companion for the latest kids flick.
Not only are the stories visually entertaining but they have wonderful life lessons,
good music and they are hilarious so I get to hear all the little ones laugh in the theatre.
That is the very best of all. Sharing the fun with them.
I really miss little giggles. They are a treasure in life.
This movie did not disappoint. It was awesome.
I had no idea what the plot was besides the fact that Steve Carell's voice was that of a villain,
it would be his story instead of a hero's story.
They did a great job with a little resemblance to him also
and the minions and "family dog" are way cute.
It was more than touching. It's message beautiful,
for me that was of the power of a child in an adults life.
That children change life, giving it purpose,
how innocence can soften the hardest of hearts and let love in.
Leaving the theatre I looked around at all the smiling families,
I couldn't help but think we were all feeling much more blessed than we did upon entering.
For at least a little while we had a new appreciation for the simple things in life,
the simplest, purest thing of all, a child's love.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

Watching a movie through your kids eyes is one of the top experiences of parenting for me... My 7 year old said there was not enough violence
reminds me of my dog, no offense
My dog treats me better than most people do,.... and I in turn do the same for her.

When I asked the kids how it was they smiled and said GOOD, the standard answer.
I sure hope their dad got something out of it.
Thanks for sharing Pandora. I'm going to have to make a point of seeeing this.
The best expression of Love is Time.
The best time to Love is Now.
I'm never as good as when you're there.........
I hope Dad got something out of it too, its never too late to be there for your kids, although guilt can try to shame us out of it. I know you'll love the movie, maybe rent when the time comes for a repeat with the boys, might give you an opportunity to discuss the world in general.
Good luck to you and your young men.
