I don't know why I thought of this tonight of all nights. Maybe because of the overwhelming tragedy in Oklahoma and my mind needed a break, maybe because I've been sick all day or maybe just because I'm missing my dad tonight but I was remembering back to an evening when I was eight or nine and the family planned on seeing a Francis the talking mule movie at the drive-in.

As luck would have it I got sick a short time before we were supposed to leave so it was "suggested" that mom and I stay home and dad and brother would go to the movie that night. Mom and I would go see The King and I at the movie theater later that week when I was feeling better. Being the inquisitive, analytical PITA that I know I can be I wanted to know more about The King and I. When it was explained to me I said I would rather go see Francis sick than watch an old people's movie LOL.

Don't know why the parents gave in but we all went to the Francis the talking mule movie that night. Now if I could just remember which one it was.
