I have always tried to pass on some kind of sense and knowledge to Jecca.
Today, I continued in my quest.
First off, took her to the cinema. Film is a really big thing for me (in a very geeky way) so would like to pass on my love for it.
So I took her to see Curious George. The great thing of having a 6 yr old around is that it gives you great excuse to act like an idiot and get to see all the kids films that you want to with the reason "Its for her!".
Curious George has Will Ferrel, Drew Barrymore, David Cross and Billy West in! Plus the soundtrack is done by Jack Johnson. So its a winner as far as I'm concerned. Very cliched in lots of places. Man makes friends with animal, something happens and man gets in trouble, man gets angry with animal, sends animal away, animal tries to stay, man gets angry and banishes animal away, tears from the audience (not me I had something in my eye), man misses animal, man gets animal back, happy ending, curtains draw.
Plus you get all the great lines that only Ferrel can pull off.
"His teeth are like Ginsu Knives!"
"Ah! Its burnt my retina"
She was really into the story, and acted like George (a monkey) for the rest of the day.
So we left the Cinema. Oke doke, I have got her into films good.
Now I have a lot to teach her still, and oddly enough it can all be learned from sports.
Winning, losing, getting embarrassed from being picked last, how to rip your mates finger nail of by twatting a tennis ball at him, the great feeling from twatting that bastard in your class with a hockey stick, getting hit, getting revenge......and also co-ordination and other stuff like that!
I have always supported England in the football. And Jecca has always gone along with me. So I asked her if she wanted an England shirt?
"YES!" came the excited reply.
Good, good. So we went into town and we both got the England home strip. As it worked out (cause's she's small) it meant that I could get her the shorts and everything, which she was very happy about.
We watched the warm up game against Jamaica, she shouted along with me in her England stuff. She seems very proud of it, and gets really into the spirit of things.
Did I mention that we won today? 6 (SIX)-0!
And yes, there was more Robot dancing from Crouch.
He's making a mockery out of it............................I wonder if he plays Tennis or Hockey?
