In Which Natalie Saw Hook For The First Time

I've written about how I like to have movie nights with the kids when my husband is gone.

This time, we watched Hook.

Natalie takes her viewing area seriously and brought down most of her bed.

And added a carpet walkway.

Tommy had already seen the movie. Natalie had not. She knows all about Peter Pan and Captain Hook though. And Tinkerbell, of course.

But before I get into the movie, did you guys know this?

The Goblin King as Hook? I'm not sure I see it.

Anyway...

Natalie was concerned because Peter forgot everything. 

"Will he ever remember again? What is going to happen to his children?" 

She thought the Lost Boys were going to kill him.

"Does the movie end here?" she asked.

"No, stupid. That would make no sense," Tommy grumbled.

Natalie whacked him with one of her many pillows. "Don't call me stupid, you rude boy!"

"No name calling. Let's watch!" 

Natalie was like, "Phew! Someone likes Peter," when this happened:

She wanted to have a food fight when this happened:

(I said no.)

Natalie liked when Peter remembered and began to fly. 

"He's in his green outfit!" she shouted happily.

She was not happy when (spoiler alert) Rufio was killed.

"He's not really dead IS HE?" 

"I'm afraid so."

But she WAS happy when Peter's children were saved. And when Captain Hook was eaten by the crocodile. "He deserved it for being so mean!"

I love this movie. If you haven't seen it, you're probably super young, and I feel incredibly old.

Bangarang!

But that's not my favorite line in the movie.

No.

This is:

I always crack up and when it's snowing outside, I think of Toodles shouting his line and slamming the door. 

When the movie was over, I asked Natalie if she liked it. 

"Yes. But Maggie's happy thought was her Mommy. No offense, but mine would be Daddy."

Somehow, I'm not surprised.
