Last night, I watched a movie with Whitney…
Now keep in mind, the only other times I’ve watched a movie with her have either been in class or in the movie theater. I can even tell you what movies I’ve seen with her: The Hangover and Sherlock Holmes. [Side note. When she and I went to see The Hanger, she was drinking water, was surprised by a funny moment, and spewed water on the people sitting below us. I could not stop laughing.]
While working on my dissertation, I came across a quote: “Where there is pattern, there is significance.” In watching movies with Whitney, I have discovered a pattern. SHE HAS THE ATTENTION SPAN OF A FLEA!
Seriously…her mind bounces around from one activity to another. So last night, Whitney said she wanted to watch The Holiday. It was HER idea! So, typically when someone says they want to watch a movie…they want to WATCH a movie. Not Whitney. While I was actively involved in watching the movie, Whitney played with the dog, played with the bird, lifted weights, cleaned the kitchen (for which I am grateful), texted/emailed/focused on her phone, and stretched on her big red ball on the side of the sofa which prevented her from seeing the movie. I’m sure most of you have “experienced” movie watching with Whitney, but I went to bed in disbelief at her lack of focus…
