Hmmmmmm.
Mood:  cheeky
The other day I was going through our old VHS tapes (remember those?), some of which date back to our first VCR back in the early '80s. Among many questionable treasures, I encountered the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen video The Curse of Thorn Mansion, wherein our intrepid heroines, then about 7 years old, promised to "solve any crime by dinnertime." Back before they got skinny and pouty and started posing for pictures hugging each other without terribly many clothes on. It was Erika's movie, back in the day.

Sam and Matt are fascinated by it. The nonexistent plot, the dreadful acting, the insipid songs. They are right now sitting together, not whacking on each other or telling on each other for a change, completely riveted.

Funny, you guys. Guys 20 years older than you (shit, 40 years older than you) are right now reacting to these two about the same way. Some things really are timeless.

Maybe something about the actors being small like them? Lauren likes watching the Wizard of Oz. Her favorite part is when Dorothy meets the munchkins.

It's interesting what our kids are fascinated by, isn't it? Lauren also loves the Fiddler on the Roof - especially the nightmare. She is always asking for the "ghost dream". No little people there. Hmmm....

Creepy, isn't it? My son is 17 months old and won't watch any kids' shows but he will stare at "Full House" reruns. It's some kind of evil Olsen twin mind control or something.
