My mom loved the movie and passed that on to me.<br />Luckily, she is a child star that grew up beautiful so her career continued into adulthood.</i><br /><br />We watch <i>Miracle on 34th Street</i> every year, too, on Thanksgiving, actually, after dinner is done since the movie starts on Thanksgiving day. It's the annual kickoff to the holiday season.<br /><br />And a terrifically quotable movie!<br /><br />"Oh, don't even think about it. I'll have a sandwich or something."<br /><br />Which is very handy when you want to be transparently passive-aggressive and get a laugh at the same time.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-79564677120330336422015-05-05T09:28:29.725-04:002015-05-05T09:28:29.725-04:00Gotta love Natalie Wood!

It's my dog. And my wife."<br /><br />"You might have mentioned me first on the billing."<br /><br />If I were going to dispense any free advice after 25 years of marriage, it's to discuss all your serious issues while pretending to be William Powell and Myrna Loy.<br /><br />All your non-serious issues, too.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-15018544803110791642015-04-25T01:27:13.585-04:002015-04-25T01:27:13.585-04:00Surely (sorry, i did promise to stop calling you t...Surely (sorry, i did promise to stop calling you that) <a href="https://youtu.be/2HmDRXsI9HY" rel="nofollow">there must be "Some Mistake," as we say in the biz?</a>Who Am Us Anyway?https://www.blogger.com/profile/08260586634760800759noreply@blogger.com
