The kid’s Spanish class spent some time reading the Spanish version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and as part of their lessons, they had to develop and create their own candy. I thought this was cool, and the kid came up with a rather creative idea using some normal candy type ingredients. What I found out earlier today, was that he was to make up a batch of his “candy” and take it to class tomorrow.
So what did he make? We dipped little squares of strawberry pop tarts in chocolate.
We have conversations occasionally that end up with movie references that the kid doesn’t get. I always end up looking at him and thinking, how has he not seen that yet. This is a list of the movies that the kid needs to see. It’s mostly stuff that I grew up watching, but not all, some of them are just films that made an impression on me. If I’ve left something off, give me the title and the reason for it to be added to the list. I’m more than happy to blame someone else for messing up the kid. I’ll cross them off as he watches them.
The official list of films the kid needs to see :
The kid has a skit at school today and he had to wear something specific for the part. It was one of those times when I suddenly realized he’s not so little any more.
It’s odd that I see him growing every day, but sometimes it really hits home.
