I don’t know why I thought this was so cute but…
I was listening to my kids who were laughing hysterically…like banshees. Earlier this morning.
I went to investigate…sure that they were up to no good. Because usually, where there is laughter…there is mischief. At least, that’s how it goes in my house.
I walked into the living room, where this ruckus was coming from, to find them sitting on the couch watching Tom and Jerry. The one where Jerry…that’s the mouse, right…is in charge of an orphan mouse and they are marching around on a table set up for a feast…
And they are guffawing. And snorting. In absolute hysterics over this cartoon.
I found myself laughing, too.
Because of how stinking cute it was. That they were enjoying a cartoon that wasn’t anime. Or violent. Or…superheros.
And really…it was a funny cartoon.
Actually…plenty of violence but not in a gory, limb removal, blood spurting type of way.
But now…that the cartoon is over…
they are back to playing Virtual Fighter 6 on Playstation 3. Back to the violent, limb removal, blood spurting out of missing appendage type fun…
that these kids all seem to enjoy.
Well…at least I got to enjoy watching my kids enjoy…watching a cartoon that I used to enjoy watching…
If only for a short. And sweet. Little bit…on a Sunday morning.
How great is that?! My kids love Tom and Jerry and the whole Looney Tunes bunch, too. I’m glad that they have those moments!
Love your story – I felt like I was right there with you!
(Just stopping by from SITS to say Hi!)
Wow. I use a lot of exclamation points, don’t I? Sorry.
Stopping by from SITS – love that antidote! My Little Princess loves Tom & Jerry, too! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
How sweet, and how nice that you got to watch them having such an innocently fun time! 🙂
Congrats on being Saucy. I always loved it when the little diva’s loved the things I did when I was younger. Great post.
How sweet – the cartoon watching and giggling. Congrats on the BFF reconciliation and the new washer!
