so today I took Sy to see his first documentary: The March of the Penguins.
he fell asleep halfway through after munching really loundly on popcorn next to my ear for the first half and then observing loudly "mom, the penguins don't talk."
Then he instantly (and I mean INSTANTLY) fell asleep (and this is a kid who has not napped spontaneously in the last 2 years other than when he was running a fever of 39 degrees).
for fuck's sake, I could have been watching Broken Flowers in the next theatre, but I took my kid to see a documentary about the mating of penguins. I think I am officially a dorky overachiever-wannabe mom now. but I did learn about penguins today, so it wasn't all for nothing. and I almost cried when the mama penguin was crying over her dead & frozen baby penguin, and I shuddered and gasped when the big bad seagull-like bird took down another baby penguin. oh, and I was very touched and almost turned on when the male and female penguin "found eachother" and started making out.
man, I need to get me a life. soon.
