Fattie from the get go

We watched Shrek the Third today, and it was a let down as expected. Choppy, random and abrupt. It was as though a bunch of Dreamworks people got baked in a room and made this movie. Regardless, I got excited when I saw the gingerbread man and his gum drop buttons (and the trailer for Ratatouille).

This made me realize how as a child, I was always drawn to books where illustrations of food were in abundance. Alice in Wonderland – huge tea party spread. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe – toasts and tea at the stag’s home. Enid Blyton everything – ’nuff said. So I told Livie, and her response was “Huh. Fattie from the get go.” Once again, I can’t disagree.
