Last night was another reminder that the best way to get your people to hold you and hug on you is to watch a sappy old movie.

We watched a real winner too.

A movie called "The Notebook" really did the trick. 

This got me thinking.  We have watched a whole bunch of sappy "Chick Flicks" over the past few years and depending on what kind of mood you're in, you might want to choose your snooze spot carefully. 

Anythig with the basic storyline of "Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back", will be a shoe-in for mom to start bawling. 

It was terrible when dad was in Iraq.  Even the news would get her to snatch me and Jack up for a hug fest. 

But it is better than the alternative.  She could just sit and ignore us. 

That would be terrible!!!

I've heard horror stories about that sort of thing.  When I was just a puppy, one of the nightmares I had was of dogs who have to spend all their time outside and never get to come in and sleep on the couch or under the covers.  And then one day I found out it was true.

AAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

Ohh... Good Grief.  I'm so upset now that I'm going to go upstairs and climb in bed.

Enjoy the list.  I'll add some more tomorrow.
