Coming soon...

A side effect of our kids growing up -- we can't agree on one movie anymore. Though our teenage son is still willing to see a popular animated film about cars, he doesn't want to be seen seeing it with the rest of us. Popcorn in hand, we part ways at the concession stand with plans to meet up later - my daughter and I headed in one direction, the boys in another. However, last evening in the lobby we all paused in a common location, drawn to a poster advertising an upcoming movie featuring a willy nilly silly old bear and his odd group of friends - an exuberant tiger, a wise owl and a perpetually depressed donkey. "We have to see that!" the kids both agreed at once. I treasure memories of reading about Pooh's adventures together. I didn't realize the kids do too.

I confess to sleeping through half the movie about cars. I'll have to rest up for the one we've agreed "we have to see!" together - so I can watch the kids watching the movie, storing up treasures for another time.
