Recently, I was scanning through the channels on TV and came across the movie, Legends of the Fall. I paused, as many of you can guess, to appreciate the scene with Brad Pitt swinging his long locks as he dismounts from a horse. Then, before I could move on to something else, I heard a powerful little voice from behind me.Ava: WHO IS THAT?
I turned around, only to find Ava pointing quite enthusiastically at the television screen. Who? I asked innocently.
Ava: THAT MAN. The one with the long hair.
Mommy: Him?
Ava: YES, HIM! He’s—a—cutie—patootie.
Our eyes met with instant understanding. She grinned at me. I grinned at her. It was then I informed her that she had just learned a very important lesson. That, my daughter, is Brad Pitt, a name you will not soon forget.
And she hasn’t. Believe me, she hasn’t. So in honor of Valentine’s Day, I am sharing with you my daughter’s new crush. And admitting, as well, that she appears to get her taste in men from her mother.
