It's been a few years since we've had a visit from the Christmas Turtle, but he (she?) came today! Sis found a bag with a present in it under the tree, which we know wasn't there earlier because we've cleaned up all the Christmas gifts and decorations except the tree and ornaments. Of course, she's the one who spotted it--Miss Eagle Eyes--though it must have been there since before they got home from school. Maybe he came while I was at Pilates? Or coffee with Miss S?
Anyway, it was the Disney edition of Headbanz, the Q&A guessing game. Sis immediately broke out the mouse ears and passed them around so we could play a few rounds before Bud had to go to kung fu. We're not the most up-to-date family on Disney movies, so we allowed some extra hints. I guess the Turtle knows we're going to Disney World later this year. It was fun . . . and silly. And hard! Try guessing "glass slipper" from yes or no questions.
Bud and Mama headed off, but Sis and I kept playing for another hour. An hour! Curled up together on the couch, we took turns guessing. If it were a movie she hadn't seen, like all the Cinderella clues, I gave her another one. She let me slide with guesses like "that turtle in Nemo" and "the big monster in Monsters, Inc." My more Disney-savvy friends would have laughed (and I would have said I knew Disney pretty well, but I guess we just don't watch them over and over).
Well, at least we'll be more prepared for the Magic Kingdom! Thanks, Christmas Turtle!
We received that game this year too from Santa!
