jimmy & the hunger games

I didn’t plan on posting today, but then I saw Kat’s writing prompt, and thought I’d share my Instagram picture from last night….

So, last night….we got to go see The Hunger Games.
I read all three books last year in like a minute.
Maybe two, because that last one took me a bit.

{I mean, come on, Katniss….buck up and get off the drugs already!  oops, did i spoil it?  kidding!!!!}

And while I tried to engage Jimmy the entire time I was reading, I just couldn’t convince him that opening a book that didn’t pertain to Physics was actually a fun thing to do.

Because of this, I was quite excited to take him to see the movie with me, so he could FINALLY see all the reasons I knew he would SO be into the series.

And on our way, while he was voicing his deep personal thoughts about life….I, being the multitasker that I am, listened and acknowledged his feelings all while snapping pictures.

This one in particular was what I thought his reaction to the movie would be…

{once again, now that you have the story.}

Okay, so he didn’t have QUITE that reaction, but I’m kind of thinking he did catch the bug.

Also, he’s dying to know who Katniss chooses in the end.

But, I won’t tell him.

Because I need to teach him that reading for FUN is FUN.

Btw, he says it should be Peeta because…

“He proved that he loved and valued Katniss more then he loved and valued his own life.”
And then he squeezed me close, and I think in his mind for a bit, we were actually Katniss and Peeta walking back to the car.
{why does that happen to guys when they watch a movie???  after it’s over they start thinking they’re actually the lead action guy….does your guy do that too?}

Either way….it’s sweet.

And in real life….he’s better than Peeta and Gale put together.

Awe, shucks….
Now who’s sweet???

Maybe I am just like Katniss….
