Andrea and I have never been able to keep up with the movies ever since we both started teaching. I guess it’s pretty much because a teacher’s work never really stops when the bell sounds off.
Sometimes, andrea and I would just hear about how good the movies are from our students who merrily and generously talk about them after watching with their parents or friends.

I remember that one of these good movies we failed to see was the famous Happy Feet. I recall us both wanting to see the film but we just didn’t have the time. So when we heard that it was going to be shown in HBO, we just knew this was it. We weren’t going to let it pass this time. We made Mateo go to bed early. We made sure that sounds were kept to a minimum so that he wouldn’t wake up in the middle of the movie.

And guess what? It paid off. After a long time, andrea and I were able to watch a movie again. But even though it was just on the TV, it felt like a real deal. The songs were fantastic and the characters were really funny. We had a blast. It sure was a nice movie - this movie entitled Happy Feet.
