The excitement
in our child starts peaking up on a Thursday morning. "Mommy, I want to
watch despicable me tonight"... And when all she gets is a
"hmmm" from her mother... She quips, "Are you a 'despicable me'
mumma?"
This baby
knows how to get herself across... Any way Thursday night, she is jumping up
and down on the couch as we put on the movie...
The
movie "DESPICABLE ME" has begun and she giggles, dances ballet with
the little girls.
She
requests for the umpteenth time to get her a 'fluffy unicorn'.
We
are half asleep by now, and we can still here her chanting 'knocked over!!'
This
movie is from 2010, but for our little girl, it’s a new discovery every
weekend...
There
is definitely something new in it for her every time she watches it. Be it the
name of the minion, or the puppet book, or the fair....
Guess
she is inspired by the movie a lot...
She
watches the moon more, and realizes that it can't be shrunk. She wants to know
where to find a real unicorn. She loves to dance on her toes, and wants to
learn ballet. Anytime, mimicking "He's so fluffy, I'm gonna die!!!"
and one tight hug melts her tantrums away :-). Well the truth is we enjoy
the antics too...It never hurts to ignite the child in you, doesn't it.
Nothing can
beat watching Mr. Gru and his minions, the adorable girls Margo, Edith and
Agnes, and of course Vector. Even as the bad guy Mr. Gru is an attractive
personality. The movie has some hilarious inventions like the minions,
the fart-gun, the shrink-ray and the cookie monster. Our favorite is Agnes and
her fluffy Unicorn, the girl is just too cute. Be it the annoying noise that
she makes, or the way she clings to Mr. Gru’s legs. And how the love from the
little girls actually wins over the aspiring "world's greatest
villain", who in the end looks super-duper cute in his pink space suit.
