Showing posts with the label Wizard of Oz

The women of #TheBachelor need to watch out for the bus

This week I have to blog the show in a weird sequence. Paige had a basketball game tonight, so I got home after the show started. However, I started watching 45 minutes in so that I could live Tweet after my big retweet from Chris Harrison last week. Once I get to the end, I have to start over. Tonight's show starts off where we left off last week with Kelsey laid out in the floor having a panic attack. As dramatic as she is being, I think she may be faking it. Kaitlyn thinks she is taking advantage of the situation too. Becca thinks she may be manipulating things. Whitney the nurse doesn't go check on her. After some oxygen (she's not in pain), she asks to talk to Chris. Ash Kardash makes a snide remark. Kelsey laughs to the paramedic that she better get a rose. Jade hopes he doesn't keep her just for a panic. Kelsey gets affirmation that she did the right thing by talking to him about her ah-may-zing story. Her annunciation is very proper as she retells...

One time I read something about how TV Guide once described the Wizard of Oz. Something about a runaway girl meeting strangers on a journey or something like that. I don't remember exactly what it was, but you would think it was a movie with a lot more fright than some flying monkeys. That's not the point of my story tonight though. That was sort of like a preacher's tease going into his sermon. (You know what I'm talking about and you're already laughing.) The point of that illustration is to say it's all in how you tell the story. While factual, the TV Guide version, whatever it actually was did not really relay the movie as most people think of it. Well, I'm a bad aunt and told about a movie in a way that made my poor, sweet 6-year old PeyPey cry. Completely not my intention to scare her to tears, but what I did in this case. Last night, I was making them hot chocolate and told them to pick out a mug. I had several Christmas mugs, and I collect mugs...
