I can't remember if it was in October or not, but when I was a kid the Wizard of Oz ran on television every year. Those were simpler times, before Movies-On-Demand.. before DVRs. Back then, if you wanted to watch a show, you had to wait until 8PM and sit through ALL the commercials. William will never comprehend the old ways of television. "Oh, what a world, what a world."He will, however, be able to appreciate one of the classic movies of all time, because starting this year, the Cunningham's have a new tradition: The first Friday night, "Movie Night", in October we will watch The Wizard of Oz!
Since this year was the first, we didn't know if all the tornados, witches and flying monkeys would scare him. "I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks. I do, I do, I do believe in spooks." I guess the worrying was for nothing, because he loved it!!
When the movie was over, he said: "That man lost his brain!" ha ha ha

We watched it every year also. Great movie.. Craig, Kelly and Tarra would laugh at Ryan as he took off around the corner when the scary parts came on and would shout," Is it over yet" So, I guess Ryan is finally watching it in its entirety. Thanks to William, he'll get his Dad through it all.
I do so love it when you comment with tidbits from my younger years. Remember, I have the ability to delete comments. :)
It was my all time favorite, once a year, movie. I am so glad William liked it! Trivia question...what is Dorothy's last name? (only mentioned once in the movie)
I LOVE THAT MOVIE! And I am so excited you are passing such a great movie onto your kids.
I know that answer! It's Gale (like the powerful wind). She says it to Glinda the Good Witch when Glinda asks Dorothy if she's a good witch or bad witch. Woohoo! (mumbles, boy I feel smart now... damn useless trivia stuck in my brain)
That's awesome to have movie nights. The kids will really come to enjoy it growing up and looking forward to the family time.
