I love cookie dough. Colleen loves cookies. We both love the Grinch. I stopped by Colleen’s last night with a roll of cookie dough and a quart of milk to help her finish decorating her tree. To our delight, the Grinch was on at 8–the only way to watch it is to catch it when it airs. You just can’t rent it.
Colleen and I watched Seuss’s masterpiece more intently than ever before and I realized how wonderful it is, but also how strange. What are the Who’s? Animals? Weird people? “Why does Cindy Lou Who have antennas?” asked Colleen.
I also forgot how fantastic and twisted the Grinch song is, especially the long drawn out sentence at the end of each verse:
– “You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel!”
– “You’re a three decker, sauerkraut, toadstool sandwich…with arsenic sauce!”
– “Given a choice between the two of you I’d take the seasick crocodile!”
Inspired genuis.
We got so worked up for the show, that when the Grinch becomes Super-Grinch because he feels the love, I was right there with him.
Boy, do I have the Christmas spirit now.
