Mom gave us a movie gift card for Christmas, planning to take us all to see Voyage of the Dawn Treader. This afternoon we picked up Mom, then zipped over and picked up our movie buddy Ms. Jan. The movie was amazing, as expected. We laughed. We cried. Ev and I held hands during intense parts. Mom clapped at various moments. Ms. Jan was generally confused.
On the way home, after dropping Jan off, we had this hilarious conversation:
Mom: I don't think Jan understood much of the movie. She read the book but she forgot. I think she is having a little...memory problem.
Karis: Ya think??? (general snickering)
Mom: It's worse even since the last time we took her to the movies. How long ago was that? I can't even remember what movie we saw. (general laughing, including Mom)
Then Mom had us all in for burgers and cookies. Yum! And then she told us it was time to go. Quintessential Mom.
Karis put into words later something to the effect that, "Grandma observes things about Ms. Jan that are true about herself." Mm-hmm.

How fun! We saw the Voyage last night. Many folks in our circle were giving it bad reviews. We ignored them and saw it ourselves, and Mark and I loved it! It was not exactly like the book, but preserved the integrity of the story. For Narnia! Yes! Now I think I should research where in the US the stage musical of "Les Miserables" is playing and take her there...(or you, Gwen)
