Narrator: Aunt Clara had for years labored under the delusion that I was not only perpetually 4 years old, but also a girl.
Dad: He looks like a deranged Easter Bunny.
Mother: He does not!
Dad: He does too, he looks like a pink nightmare!
OUR VERSION
Natalee: Look at these darling Easter Bunny ears I picked up in the dollar bins at Target!
Rob says: (trying to appear excited) Ya, those are great.
Rob thinks: Curse those Target dollar bins!
Viv: [Silently devising a plan to maximize the attention these bunny ears could get her]
OTHER GREAT QUOTES FROM "A CHRISTMAS STORY"
Ralphie as an Adult (narrating): Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. Though my personal preference was for Lux, I found that Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heavy, but with a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand... YECCHH!
Ralphie as an Adult (narrating): In the heat of battle my father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan.
Mother: All right. Now, are you ready to tell me where you heard that word?
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master. But, I chickened out and said the first name that came to mind.
Ralphie: Schwartz!
Ralphie as Adult (narrating): Some men are Baptists, others Catholics; my father was an Oldsmobile man.
Flick: Are you kidding? Stick my tongue to that stupid pole? That's dumb!
Schwartz: That's 'cause you know it'll stick!
Flick: You're full of it!
Schwartz: Oh yeah?
Flick: Yeah!
Schwartz: Well I double-DOG-dare ya!
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] NOW it was serious. A double-dog-dare. What else was there but a "triple dare ya"? And then, the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare.
Schwartz: I TRIPLE-dog-dare ya!
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Schwartz created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat!
Almost makes me look forward to winter again! ;)

this is hysterical...i saw those ears in the dollar bins - vivi makes them look fabUlous!
Those photos of Vivi are awesome!
Vivi looks like she is loving the ears. She is so cute!
Okay. Could Vivian get any cuter?! I would also like to add that I picked up the very same bunny ears from the dollar bin. We think alike.
I love her huge smiles! She is the happiest kid. And she does NOT resemble Ralphie, though that was hilarious!
Viv is one happy baby! It's almost as if she knows that everyone loves her. She is so much fun. Whenever I imagine her she is always squeeling with delight. This post makes me want watch the movie again. I've never really paid attention to the narration. Thanks for the insight. P.S. I see those snazzy shoes you're wearing! Oh, curse In Her Shoes.
Last night I was brushing my teeth and all of the sudden I heard Dave laughing hysterically. I came out to the living room to see what was going on and found him looking at these pictures of Vivi. He thought they were dang funny and so cute. He said she has the best grin he's ever seen.
I love that movie! And Viv looks very cute!
I'm so observant that I didn't even notice you were IN the picture with the snazzy shoes, but I think I'll blame that on Vivi for being so darn cute!
