Recently our local dollar theater showed the two summer smash hits Star Wars Ep. 3 and Shark Boy & Lava Girl 3D. With the same enthusiasm as my girls, our nephew Parker also is a Star Wars fan. So we promised him that when the movie arrived at the Page Manor theater we would be sure to take him. The day finally arrived and equipped with a light saber we reentered a galaxy far, far, away.....
What was even more entertaining than watching Episode III for the second time was watching Parker recreate each light saber fight in the isle. As the movie went on so did Parker's performance, with each scene he increased in dramatics and tone. Despite our attempts to have Parker lower his voice and subdue his sword play, the boy went strong through the entire movie. I think he only sat down for the initial previews. Molly & Neleha was well entertained as with Kristy, myself, and the rest of the audience. I must say concerning the audience, they must have enjoyed his theatrics as well since we never heard one complaint.
What was most surprising was that even after two straight hours of Parker's dramatic light saber performance, he still had more left. Parker and Molly went on for most of the night reliving the highlights of the movie.
The next morning we returned to the theater and watched the epic "Shark Boy & Lava Girl 3D". The dramatic theatrics returned only now Molly had an exciting part she could play as well. For the rest of the day we could only do things Shark Boy & Lava Girl would do. We ate at Long John Silvers, Molly had the hot fries and Parker had the shrimp. Our children bring us so much joy, if I ever start feeling old all I will have to do is spend a day with a child and be young again.
