We thought it would be fun to do a movie night at home, and I picked an old classic, E.T. to start us off. On Sunday, we had an early dinner and had the popcorn machine ready; the boys were quite excited. We all got comfortable on the couch and enjoyed the show. Both boys were intrigued with all the actions and laughed at the funny part. We took an intermission to have the popcorn ready; then we returned to the movie with the munchies. I had only seen the movie one time after I moved to the United States, therefore I have forgotten how sad it was. When they found E.T. in the creek, we
all felt sad, but the saddest one was Connor. He was sobbing quietly, and he started crying louder as we looked over to him. He then told me “Mommy, please take me to another room”. He was genuinely sad and worried for E.T.; it took me a little bit of talking to him before he stopped crying. We returned to the movie too soon; when they thought E.T. was dead, Connor cried again. So Connor and I once again left the room. Logan was feeling emotional too, so he went to hug Stuart while they were watching. Stuart finally called us back to return to watch the final part. Connor felt better seeing E.T. come back to life. But at the very end, we all were tearing up a bit as they said final goodbye to E.T. I really liked the movie, but I guess it was too much for the boys. Later that night, both boys said they enjoyed Movie Night, but they both told us that we need to pick a happy movie.
