The Miserables

I woke up early this morning. Well, early for a Sunday. It was 6:00. I was ready to play. Mom was...well, Mom wasn't really ready to play. So she let me lay in the bed with her and watch Sesame Street.

After we got up, Aunt Trina came to play with me. Actually, she came to pick up her Granny's birthday cake, but she played with me too. I had a good time playing with her and laughing. :)

Mom made me try on my new hat. We got it at the WeeSale. I wasn't too sure about it.

Mom says that if my head doesn't get ginormous, it will be a great sun hat this summer. I don't think my head is going to get ginormous. That would just be weird...

I showed Aunt Trina my funny tongue trick.

After Aunt Trina left, I got ready and we went to Grandmom and Granddad's. I took a nap while the solid food eaters had lunch.

After lunch, Mom and I went to the WeeSale again. Mom said that a lot of the things that were left would be half the price. That sounded good to me. Sounded like I would get more stuff. I got some more new outfits and another new movie. Then we went to Target. That wasn't very exciting. We were just there to get detergent for the washing machine. No toys. Oh well.

Tonight, we've been watching something special on tv. There's a concert on PBS. Something called Les Miserables.

I'm a little confused about it. Apparently, all of these people are miserable. They are sad. But they are singing. A lot. So far, this is what I understand. There's a man with a funny name. He sounds like a Dr. Seuss character. He must be in some kind of trouble because there is a policeman singing about trying to catch him. There's a lady too. She was very sad, then she was sick, then she was gone. There's a little girl that lives with some loud, obese people. The Funny Name Man went and got the little girl and she lived with him after that. She grew up. The policeman keeps chasing the Funny Name Man. The grown up little girl met a boy. He hangs around with some people who are upset about something or other. They hang out at something called "The Barricade". The policeman was there. The Funny Name Man sent him away and he never came back. There was a big fight with lots of loud noise. Lots of people went away. The boy and the grown up girl got married and the Funny Name Man went away. I think that's it.

It was pretty serious, but the music was very nice. Mom was singing. I liked the song the little girl sang about the castle. It was nice and it made me smile. Mostly, I felt sorry for the miserable people.

This has been a very interesting cultural experience. I am very tired now. Monday will be here very shortly and I think I had better get some rest!!
