What does Hurricane Sandy have to do with a movie projector? My son Nick has quite the imagination.
He and Sally love to darken the living room. They turn out all of the lights that they can so the room is dark for their “movie”. A movie to them is a 30 minute PBS show, a Wallace and Gromit episode or maybe The Muppet Movie.
During the storm last week, Nick asked me if he could use the flashlight. It’s one of his favorite toys. I told him that he couldn’t use the flashlight because if we lost power from hurricane Sandy, we were going to need the flashlight to have good batteries.
Sigh, and he went off to play with something else.
Today, Nick came running into the kitchen asking me if hurricane Sandy was over. Yes, it’s over. He excitedly asked me if he could use the flashlight now. I said sure and got it down for him. The next thing I know, it’s on the steps, turned on, facing the TV. It’s now the movie projector.
Kids are great.
