The old man hated the Bumpus dogs, it would never have worked out.
I wouldn’t have eaten that red cabbage no matter what!
I used to have one pair of sneakers I wore with everything. Kids today have a pair to match every outfit! Ten or fifteen pairs!
Definitely!
She would say I’m keeping an open mind 😁
Hooray, it’s starting soon!
I like to switch back and forth between the two!
Yay, great to hear from you guys again! The marathon is right around the corner!
What was Kevin supposed to do when he ended up stranded in NYC? Sleep in the streets? Kevin did spend way too much money on frivolous things, but I’m sure his parents were glad that he stayed in a nice hotel and was able to buy food rather than if he had been alone in NYC with no resources.
You do realize that Kevin is 9-10 years old? No kid that age could be that articulate and calm while being sided against by his entire family. Your apology sounds like it was written by a grad student.
Hi Nuts! Yes I make Turkey on Thanksgiving and at other times during the year, too, but I don’t stuff it
Of course!
That is the most logical explanation I suppose.
I watch this a few times every Xmas season, and have, for years. I would describe the movie as sentimental, not sad. I love the music, the nostalgia, the black and white atmosphere. About a decade ago I corresponded by email with Karolyn Grimes, who had played Debbie. I asked her how she was able to learn her lines so well at such a young age, and what it was like to work with Cary Grant. She graciously responded that it's easy for children to learn a great many things because their minds are like sponges, and that Cary Grant was very kind to her. Since I am a Cary Grant fan, I was happy to hear this. Karolyn's personal life had some real tragedy in it,
yet she remains a warm and positive person. Now when I watch the film, it adds even more meaning to the story, about how we can overcome life's difficulties and disappointments when we reach out in love to others.
Whenever I've stuffed a turkey, I put the stuffing in before putting the turkey in the oven. I didn't know some people take it out when it's almost done to stuff it?
Also, that was a pretty small turkey for a family of four, especially when adult Ralphie was talking about all the leftovers they would have.
I would get him a new furnace for the old man!
Yay!
It makes for an interesting discussion.
Except he wore braces, so he couldn't have been that poor. I bet he smelled bad!
Make sure it's spiked!
