Movie Night with the Grands

Sandy had a doctor’s appointment in Nashville today, so we made arrangements for Pa and Granny to babysit. Our trip was delayed by over an hour due to severe storms in Nashville. In fact, the Vanderbilt University Medical Center was locked down for a time as the storm passed directly over us. For this period, all offices and waiting rooms were evacuated and everyone was directed to stand in hallways. At home, the twins lobbied their grandparents for a DVD after dinner. They selected their current favorite movie, 1,001 Dalmatians, and loaded it into the DVD player. A button must have been mistakenly pushed because the movie began playing in French. Pa and Granny got a big kick out of the gaffe, and since the boys didn’t complain, they left it alone. The Grands were surprised how well they could follow the story, even in a foreign language.
