On Friday evening, Eric and I braved the snow (!) to take Sam out to his first movie. We saw Madagascar 2. Sam had seen the first one in passing and had enjoyed the animals. This one was a lot scarier than we had anticipated but Sam seemed to think it was okay. He wasn't heavy enough to hold down his seat so he spent most of the movie folded into it, his knees on his chest, watching the action between his shoes.
Trying to get Sam's opinion of the movie, this morning we had the following conversation:
Mom: Sam, remember the movie we went to?
Sam The Critic: Jackie?
Mom: No, Mom and Dad took you.
STC: Oh. Yeah, movie.
Mom: What did you like about the movie?
STC: Lion, giraffe, zebra, and T-Rex.
Mom: T-Rex?
STC: Well, hippos.
Mom: What?
STC: Lion, giraffe, zebra, and hippo.
Mom: Ah. What part of the movie was funny?
STC: Funny...laugh! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Mom: Yes. What made you laugh?
STC: more ha ha noises, this time with his tongue hanging out
Mom: Okay, what didn't you like about the movie?
STC: I liked the movie.
Mom: I know, but was there something about it you didn't like?
STC: I liked the movie.
I gave up the interview, disappointed. But really, what was I expecting? My two-year old to wax poetic about the psychotic penguins?
Now that we know Sam is a fan of the cinema, I am dreading the long winter just a little less. There's nothing like a matinee to break up a long day!

We are taking Aid next weekend too! He begs to have the preview played again if it comes up on the tv. We have to go!
It was funny and he liked it. Enough said!
