Let Down Your Golden Hair!

Melina has become infatuated with the movie Tangled. We borrowed it from a friend last week, and she has seen it at least twice so far. She can finally say the name Rapunzel without starting, "What's her name again?" and she has me dressed up as Rapunzel's mom, Mother Gothel, who really wasn't her mom.

Hence the dress and heels on a Monday morning. I just can't see how those 1950s housewives were able to cook and clean like this! It is a cool morning, so I wanted to put a sweater on. In order for Melina to approve that look (it isn't quite what she thought Mother Gothel would wear), I had to tell her it was my cloak. Go figure.

Melina has been pretty good with getting the Tangled dialogue and details right. But this morning, this is what went down at our house:

Melina: Can you please be Rapunzel's mom?
Me: Daddy is home. Can he be Flynn? Flynn Rider?
Melina: That isn't his real name.
Me: Oh yes. His name is Eugene.
Melina: No, that is his middle name. His real name is Sherbet.
Me: Oh really.

You might not find this funny, if you don't know the movie. But the real name of Flynn Rider is Eugene Fitzherbert. Not Sherbet.
