Carrying 4 plates, 3 in my right hand, one in my left, I stop at the side-station to grab the pepper mill. The nephew's behind me, he's grabbed a couple of the side dishes, one in each hand, like a truck stop waitress...
"How long have you worked here? And still only 2 plates?" I ask. He shrugs.
"Look at me bro...do I have 3 arms?"
They're not diamonds...

The daughters turn to pick the film, she's been hostile at a few of my choices, the last one, Arrival, she wasn't a fan. It was a good movie. But in the spirit of teen rebellion she picks "Office Christmas Party". The boy, he's not so adverse to this, it looks funny, might have it's moments.
It does. It's inane comedy, thankfully it doesn't have Adam Sandler in it, for which I give it one star, otherwise, I was mildly amused, the boy as well, the daughter, well, she laughed. Chances are if your going to see it you'll probably like it.

Well reviewed, I take the daughter. It's good. Thoughtful. Well executed. Sci-Fi but not overburdened or overshadowed by special effects, and I like the fact that it has a strong female lead, a scientist...
The daughter, well, she doesn't like it so much. So it goes, you do what you can, but some of the seeds are lost...
