Fish 'n Kids

So you know I really like Finding Nemo. In fact, if you read my post on coral reefs, I can guarantee you'll be just a little smarter than you are now. (And your'e obviously already pretty smart just because you read my blog.) I like parties, too. Nay, I LOVE parties. Our home was made for them. We have a big, comfy couch and an overhead projector so that we can watch movies on the wall in full surround sound. This is a treat for us, and for our friends. Having no children, we have a great party house, and are priveleged and blessed to be able to play host and hostess. Now, please understand that I love kids, and I often have friends with kids over, but this week I am presented with something entirely different-a party-a first grader's birthday party. I'm thinking of the ways little people are the same as big people, and the ways we are different, and what we need to do to accomodate the differences. The pizza dinner will be fine, and I may make a blue jello dessert with gummy fish inside. My concern is this: will these young people appreciate the happy-go-luckiness of Ellen DeGeneres as Dory combined with the wry cynicism of Albert Brooks as Marlon?
