yendiSo, we're walking to Elayna's karate class tonight.
Elayna: Can we see that Polly Prince movie soon?
Me: What movie?
Elayna: The one we saw the preview for this weekend.
Me (brain furiously attemtping to sort through the seventeen awful-looking trailers we saw. It's not Garfield. Maybe that piece of shit Freaky-Friday/Big rip-off?): Is it 13 Going on 30?
Elayna: No. The one with something about a girl named Polly. Along Came Polly!
Me: Oy.
I explained that it was a PG-13 movie whose preview really didn't belong before Cheaper By the Dozen. She understood, but said she couldn't wait until she was thirteen, because that scene with the basketball game (and anyone who has suffered through the trailer knows which one) was so funny.
Sigh.
