In a follow up to Wednesday's post....

....last night at the DVD shop, where we were hiring a few DVDs to balance out the football overload on television this weekend, we saw a girl of similar age to the one in the supermarket on Wednesday, also wearing flannelette pyjamas. Somehow, though, it seemed slightly more okay there. Is that because the activity of watching DVDs is often done while wearing pyjamas? Or are there public places where it is socially acceptable to wear them?

Sorry if I'm sounding a bit obsessed. It's just happened more than once in a short space of time and I'm genuinely curious.

Anyway, to change the topic, this was the movie that Liam and I watched last night while Dad and Aidan went to Brisbane to watch the Titans lose. Liam loved it. I didn't mind it either, good fun and not much violence beyond oversized food falling on top of people. G-rated too. So now I'm keen to find the book it's based on for the kids to read.

The book is great too, but quite different to the movie. "Loosely based on" would be the best description!

Ah yes. The conversation about movies being completely different to books took place in our house just last night when I was venting frustration that the movie of My Sister's Keeper completely destroyed the plotline of the book. I can't believe authors agree to it...
