Chim Chimminy

Earlier this evening, we enjoyed the sparkling wit and musical brilliance of Mary Poppins – the 45th anniversary edition, yet! Contrary to the effusiveness of the previous sentence, my actual feelings about this movie have not made it a favorite. However, it is fun to watch once in awhile, and I particularly enjoy seeing the children’s room clean itself up. How I wish my daycare classroom would do that. I also like Mary Poppins’ nanny personality. She is so firm, but kind and fun at the same time. (Of course, if I had all of her resources at my disposal I think I would find it fairly easy to be a nanny as well.)

Another aspect I enjoy is the elaborate verbiage, which formed the inspiration for my style of writing this post, simply because my brain can’t stop thinking like that now. But really, you should watch Mary Poppins if you haven’t recently. It’s an innocent, fun childhood movie. And you might fall asleep while she’s singing the children a lullaby.
