We had yet another open house today (come on, you all, just buy the house already!) and our plan was to spend the day at the pool. But when we woke up this morning, we found a very rainy day outside and had to come up with Plan B. So after lunch at Panera we visited the movie store and rented “White Fang”, the movie based on the book by Jack London. It was in the kid’s section, how bad could it be, I thought? Remind me to check the back of the movie next time for the rating. We realized after one guy got attacked and killed by wolves and the mother wolf got fatally wounded by a gun and her pup (White Fang) found her lying outside the den, bleeding out of her mouth and Elise was in tears for the third time in 10 minutes, that this movie was rated PG. Not what we usually get for her.

So we talked her out of hiding in our bedroom for the rest of the movie, skipped the scene where White Fang is put into a vicious dog fight and deeply wounded before being rescued, and enjoyed the rest of the movie. It was a fun (except the damage-to-Elise’s-psyche part) way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon and it was good to know that we can all get along in the trailer on a rainy day.
