Hello!
Hope you are all doing well...
So I was feeling rather blah yesterday, so much so that my nurse
noticed it and dug it out of me. We talked about it and she suggested that I
hear music or watch a movie. Before she left I told her that I was going to
look into it and promised her that makes like she came here she was going to
see a new man.
Judas wasn't seeing it... |
And I did! I pulled up my old JCS (Jesus Christ Superstar) DVD
and started watching it. I asked my oldest if she wanted to see it and she said
no, but my youngest one was all freaky about it; so we saw it together. Lots of
questions, lots and lots of questions… Remember that this household is not a
religious one; they barely know JC and thus have many questions about him and
the existence of him and of all the religious stuff. She liked the music very
much and was attentive when I told her to be, but she had the odd comment here
and there. One that shook my world was said when Mary Magdalen is singing the
song "I don't know how to love him"; one of my favorite songs but
will now become just another dumb song to me thanks to my daughter. You see, when
it was about to start I told her the song was about Mary being in love with JC
and not knowing how to demonstrate it. She heard the first verses and then
added
- "You know that they didn't shave their legs back then
right?"
!!! WTF?!!! Why didn't I think of that?! Now every time I'll
hear that song I will think about hairy women. The kid was right, all these
years and I have never thought about it. There was no shaving kit back then; in
fact I don't think men cared about hairy women. This remark of course got
started me thinking about everything they didn't have then, like ice, TV,
radio, and the most important of them all: Toilet paper… Thank you very much
kid, a perfectly romantic song ruin forever…
I am never seeing a movie with the kids again…
