Ooh-to the-eee-to the- ooh ahh ahh

For 10 points name the film that the title was in.


Answer to Aubrey's note: the tick removal was disastrous. The doctor picked at it with first a q-tip (!?) then his fingers, thereby leaving the head in and legs hanging out!!! If Mae was a more delicate child she would have freaked, thank god she's got a keen sense of the grotesque. It eventually made it's way out, before I had to get her when she was asleep with the tweezers. Not a word about Lyme disease.


So, re: Summer highjinks: last weekend I stood in the pouring rain with 5 other people protesting the Human Rights records of China. In the pouring, freezing rain for 5 hours. Needless to say, I was wet and cold when I got home. None of the below is me, but apparently I will be in the paper with a similar shot on Friday. I think I am winning the paper war in this house. We've been here 2.5 years and our family have been in one paper or another 7 times. We're like the bloody Osbornes!!


So I haven't really wanted to venture out much more, apparently the weather here being much the same as Canada. Rain rain rain.


What to do with a bored kid at the end of summer holidays? Give em chopsticks and blueberries. Unfortunately Mae conquered this challenge after about 5 minutes.


Any more ideas?

Go for more chopsticks challenges: slugs, paper clips, marbles.
