Gone With the Winn Dixie
I'm reading Gone With the Wind for the umpteenth time.
I could practically recite it word for word to you.
When I watch the movie, my lips move with the dialogue.
The 10-year-old spied the book on the floor next to the bed.
He: Hey! It's that book from Winn Dixie!
Me: Gone With the Winn Dixie?
He: No! Because of Winn Dixie! (the book they were required to read in 4th grade) This is the book the librarian gave the girl to read to the blind woman... I think. (taps book) Is this the one where the guy goes to war and dies? Gasp! (slaps hand over mouth) I'm sorry! Did I just ruin the ending for you?
Me: (devastated) He dies?!?
Heh heh heh.
Excuse me. I have to go to the bank and make a deposit in the Therapy Fund now...

Now that is funny!!!
Your kids and mine can be in the same group.
Holy crap, that is funny...
I have often thought of reading Gone with the Wind and haven't. You have piqued my interest again. Did you read the sequel?
Heh. I totally would have done that to my kid when he was little, if I could think that fast...
jrt-ess...the sequel was a bunch of crap...(spoiler to follow) I mean, Scarlett had a C-Section or hysterectomy or something like that. Yeah, right.
And Roses, I've read my Grandmother's copy several times, until I realized it was an ORIGINAL copy of GWTW.
