Do you ever (on those rare occasions that the remote is in YOUR hand) put on a show that you KNOW your husband is going to object to?
I do. Just to test how long it takes for him to pitch a fit.
But he didn't the other night when I turned on Steal Magnolias during the Christmas party scene, just as Shelby is announcing her pregnancy. David had never seen it, and decided to play along.
He had missed all the character building, so I had to explain the friendships and the close mother-daughter relationship Shelby and Malin have.
He watched.
I, of course, was fighting tears from the get-go. But I didn't warn him.
I didn't prepare him...
So as the family is gathered in the hospital around the life-less Shelby, in a child-like voice David asks "what's he signing?".
(I didn't answer)
Then in that same, innocent voice "they're going to let her... die?"
But then he turned back in to a man "stupid movie".

2nd: I remember watching Beaches with Dad. Yea, he cried. I was like 10 and I thought it was cool that my dad could cry at a chick flick.
Heh...awesome.
I was like 9 when we went and saw "The War" in the movie theater and I saw my dad cry for the first time ever. I thought it was so cool. I mean... well you know. =)
