Willy Wonka

A few weeks ago the kids went to Kenzie and Tayler's play Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, they loved it.  They had never seen the movie so over Mid Winter Break we watched it, the old one with Gene Wilder.  I thought that Natalie would get a little scared in some parts because lets be honest some of that movie is a little creepy.  Not Natalie, she seems to embrace the strange!  A few mornings ago she was running around the house screaming at the top of her lungs the lines of the movie when they get into the boat and go for the ride.  You know, the weird creepy part of the show.  She wasn't getting all the lines right but she was close:

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing

I was laughing so hard.  What a weird kid! She also told me she thought the play was better than the movie.  You know-- a middle school play production, HA!
