Another Doctor's Visit

OKay so we finally got Ted taken to a doctor this afternoon for some full up evaluations.  What does this mean?  Well I am pretty sure the doc tapped on both of his knees twice and then was like, eh he seems cool, here is your prescription.

But what is even BETTER is what H asked me while I was driving all 3 hellish devils to the appointment.  E and T were showcasing their usual talent of who can scream loudest and drive mom the craziest in the shortest amount of time, so I - in all my saintly glory and trying not to abuse a crack pipe - suggested that they put on a dvd.

When the dvd is on, all is calm.  We had about a half hour drive so rather than listen to the fruit of my loins scream bloody murder for shits and giggles, I thought, hey, how about The Wizard of Oz? or whatever.  And The Wizard it was.  So there is a part in the Wizard of Oz (which by the way has one of the craziest messages at the end that I can't believe it took me thirty eight years to become horrified by) where after Dorothy drinks her special punch and flies Auntie M's rancher to Cuckooville, the movie goes quiet for a really long time.  If you are Mama driving in the front seat, it can sound like some little devil SHUT IT OFF.  In reality, it is just Dorothy realizing what a shit show she has created by landing in Wackadoo World and slowly waking from the world's worst hangover to realize she has landed in a serious poor man's acid trip.

So I guess I was concerned that T had turned off the dvd player and that he and E would start to sever each other's arteries while I tried to get everyone safely to the doctor, so I was all WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE DVD, and Ted said something like (which is adorable in its own right), "Oh, it's just quiet cause it's the part where she wakes up and finds all the yellows and purples and colors and everything."

So then Helen says, "So did people in the olden times only always see everything in black and white and that's why they made movies that way?"

And I was like, damn.  Kids are so freaking awesome and OF COURSE you should think that.  Why wouldn't you.
