NaBloPoMo - Day 5

Are you familiar with the 2011 animated film Rango starring Johnny Depp?


I was not familiar with it, but it came up on my app screen while I was looking for a movie to put on for my girls last week. Luna, the three year old, spotted it and asked to watch it. I started the movie and pretty quickly realized it was not a movie for kids, but not before Luna yelled out "Hey Gamma, he looks like you!" 

It had to be one of the funniest things I've ever heard. I am getting older and have been self-conscious about my looks as I'm aging, but Rango? Really?!

I assure you, I do not look like Rango. My eyes aren't popping out of my head, I have lips and all, and I'm certainly not too skinny or green. I have no idea what she saw that made her think I looked like him, but it sure made me never want to be seen out in public ever again!

You just scrolled back up to take a closer look at him, didn't you?

  1. This is so funny! I've never heard of this movie, but I definitely know the feeling of fielding comments about appearances from kids.

  7. I didn't think it was that bad for kids, but it's been ages since I saw it.

  9. As the late Art Linkletter quipped, "Kids say the darndest things!" And they do! Hoping I'll get to see all three grand girls over Christmas break. Blessings, Martha!

  11. Well I have heard of Johnny Depp but I'd not heard of the film Rango.
    ... but sometimes you just never know what kids will say!

    Happy midweek wishes.

    All the best Jan

  14. I think further questioning of Lena is warranted! Clearly she has a creative mind!

  15. This is a hoot. "I have lips and all." Kids say the darndest things. Once in an elevator in the library an elderly woman asked Mini what her name was. Then Mini asked what her name was (Mini's IRL name rhymed with this woman's name, guessing you can figure that out). "My name's Dolly." Mini was quick to correct her that Dolly was NOT a name. (It's a toy she liked to play with, obvi). Bah ha ha. I was like, OOPS.

  16. that's so funny! Of course, I don't know what you look like, so I can't tell why she said that, but I have a feeling it was her over active imagination at work! As Art Linkletter used to say, "Kids say the darndest things". LOL.
