Jodie and I just got back from the movies with our kids. We went to go see Spike Jones' Where The Wild Things Are". It was excellent. It has been probably ten years since I last read the book, but I remember loving it. The movie was no different. It was awesome. Jodie said she didn't "get it". I am sure anyone can parallel their life with that movie, especially if they have kids (kids who fulfilled the curse every mother has wished on her children). I see our family more as the wild things. Quick to wrassle (yes I know it's spelled wrong), but quick to recognize they have hurt another. Max was inspiring, torn between his lust for adventure and his longing for home. I just hope as parents we have more chocolate cake than we do humble pie to serve up when our children return from their adventures. After all, most of us live our lives waiting to watch the adventures unfold.
The long and short, go watch it, it was wonderful.
