Adyson was a good sport and attended the shower and would come to the Bear's dungeon for a couple of short visits but returned immediately to the shower festivities. Finally, as anticipated, Adyson could stand the festivities no longer and ventured to the Bear's dungeon to asked Papa if we could watch a movie.

Let's find something PG and fit for a little princess. Adyson carefully reviewed the assortment of DVD's and selected one she had not seen but asked about what it was all about. Papa quickly exclaimed: "Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles..." I thought Adyson responded with "Doesn't sound too bad. I'll try to stay awake." Papa responded, "As you wish" and we gathered on the couch and snuggled up and began the movie.
That day, Papa was amazed to discover that when he was saying "As you wish", what he meant was, "I love you." And even more amazing was the day he realized she truly loved him back.


Next it was Adyson's mom who firmly wanted to know what I was doing watching this movie with her. Lighten up mom, it's a fairy tale and all little girls like fairy tales.
"All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun." "You're that smart? I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains." Needless to say Papa was in trouble, Inconceivable!

Adyson slept peacefully that night, she actually stayed over night with us. I think her mom thought nightmares, I'll show you Papa. May have been that she was exhausted, after all it was 10:00 pm when the movie ended and she went to bed. Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Morons in my opinion, I'm sure Adyson slept with dreams of the many lessons learned from Princess Bride such as:
*You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles.
* Not much can get in the way of true love.
* There's not a lot of money in revenge.
* Beware of princes who smile too much.
* Overconfidence can be deadly.
* Inconceivable does not mean impossible.
* Getting fired can wreck a person's self-confidence.
* Revenge doesn't pay too well.
* Remember that a chocolate coating can help things go down easier.
* Sometimes there are happy endings.
* Even if you're the best, there's always someone better.
* Assets don't always look like assets.
* Don't give up! It ain't over 'till it's over.
* Even when it appears to be over, it might not be over.

Papa in trouble? I think that Adyson would probably put it best. INCONCEIVABLE!

Cute post! I'm glad that she didn't have nightmares!
Dad, glad to see you blogging again. I was wondering if you had forgotten that there is always something to blog about. Very creative - but movies need to be approved by mom from now on. You are in so much trouble!!!
Actually, Papa gets NO credit for her sleeping...I do! I am the one who said prayers with her that night..."Bless Adyson to only have sweet and happy dreams..."!
