Tear Jerker

luna cried watching a movie tonite
is was a pretty intense awakening for her
Akeelah and the Bee - how cute is that?
she yells for me pointing incredulously to her watery eyes
look look its making me cry!!
and then she kinda beamed
like she recognized the beauty of the feeling
of feeling compassionate for the character
such a stark difference
to the normal deadpan face projected when watching dose after dose of saccharine children's programming
its like she was astonished
that a movie could provoke her to become emotional.

little does she remember that it did happen once when she was 3
and the movie was Spirit
but still
it was different
