Liken This!

On Sunday we decided to have a little family time and watch a movie together. We decided to use that Comcast thing we pay for each month....On Demand. We checked out the movies and saw you can rent the Liken the Scriptures movies and there was one on Nephi in the Wilderness. Since it was Sunday we thought that was a grand idea. We rented it then curled up, prepared to be enlightened! Right away alarm bells went off...MUSICAL MUSICAL MUSICAL. Now you will only understand this if you are a Moore reading this. For some odd reason we all (I think it is all of us - speak up if you disagree or are adopted and don't know it) squirm and get totally uncomfortable with musicals. We sweat, look the other way, and get an unpleasant feeling in our stomach. That is why we don't get season tickets to Hale Theatre. Not worth the risk. We pick and choose our plays, thank you very much. Well about the time Nephi and "the brothers" started "Rockin in the Wilderness" and doing an impression of the Back Street Boys, Jim and I were really freaked (Jim has been in the family long enough that he too appears to have this reaction to musicals). The problem is, our twins were enthralled (proof of adoption). Of course for their sake (and the fact that we paid 99 cents for this puppy) we had to stick it out. We gave each other looks of encouragement and watched the clock, waiting for the 45 minutes to be over (thankful that we did not choose the 62 minute one on David and Goliath). Finally it was over and we were able to sigh a sign of relief. The twins started gabbing and about the movie and we realized it was really worth it because they twins actually got something out of it. Hannah said: "Layden" (sorry Lisa, not an intentional rhyme) was a really, really bad man, huh mom. He had all that stuff and would not give their brass plates back and THEY HAD NOTHING TO EAT ON MOM! So, maybe we will hold hands and grin and bear David and Goliath in a month or two. Who know what the twins will get out of that one?
