So Peter and I went to Pad Thai in Saint Paul this evening to get some spicy food for dinner. As usual the food was excellent and we enjoyed it thoroughly.
After dinner we went for a walk down Summit Avenue to admire the houses. As we passed one house we saw this in the window:
I laughed outloud. Right there in the front window of a classy house on Summit Avenue was the leg lamp made infamous in the film “A Christmas Story”. I pointed it out to Peter, but can you believe, he didn’t know what I was talking about? I said, “you know, Ralphy and the Red Ryder BB Gun and ‘You’ll shoot your eye out!’?” And Peter said, “huh?”
Now I know Peter isn’t sentimental and he avoids holiday themed movies, but seriously? He’s never seen one of the most classic Christmas movies of all time! I thought every child of the 80s had seen “A Christmas Story”. I think I’ll have to remedy his cultural education at some point.
Ha! I just saw that for the first time this past Christmas! Guess different families have different traditions, and that was one my family missed entirely. :)
Yeah, Julie hates that movie.
“Fra-gee-lay. It must be French!”
Okay, I looked it up on IMDB and I actually have seen it. The only scene I remember is the one with the kid licking the flagpole. Which was not included in the description I got last night.
What a great picture of Daddy and his little girl. Yes she has all his facial features. Eyes, nose, and smile.
