Mom Of The Year


I do not know which idea came first -- the movie or the popcorn. In which case, my insistent little girl and I ended up watching her "Big Momma's House 2", to make up for missing out on "Pink Panther", while I consoled myself with a bag of Holy Kettle Corn. The package said “No butter. No cholesterol. No preservatives. No artificial flavors or MSG. Great diet food.” Mildly sweet, salty and heavenly good, oh yeah, Batman, the package is surely lying. So what? With the little girl's scrumptious laughter, the popcorn had to be my just reward for watching the movie. So not guilty with Diet Coke.

I have a feeling that once school is over, and it will be by next week for 2 kids, my random movie watching, which is the good perk of having to be in the mall 3 days a week for work, will take on the manner of a chore. That is if my daughter will play the dictator and I'll have to keep bringing her to the movies that Rotten Tomatoes give ample warning about, like this one. Why, for the love of God, does Martin Lawrence insist on playing the fat-assed, absolutely scary looking Big Momma for FBI cover, I cannot fathom. Moreso that it works with people, compared to the short, paltry line for "Pride And Prejudice", which I'm gonna see on Tuesday to find how it compares to the book, which is one of my favorites. I'm sure I'm bringing no kids then.
