Cuddling has never been cuter.

He has just met you and he loves you.

You’ve got a friend in him, indeed.

It’s just delightful with a capital D.

All of it… including the part where Genie’s wearing a Goofy hat. (Ha. That worked on two levels.)

8. Kronk listening to a squirrel.


He’s kind of the best.

9. The friendship between Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin.


Can you say best besties ever?

A teen play?

I recently attended the Mary Poppins play. To an older person, the play might have seemed well put together and good. Although, in my opinion the play was lengthy. There were some parts that could have been different. For example, at one point the children and Mary Poppins were singing in the park. In the park there were people dressed as statues who danced around. I thought that was strange. The play defiantly had its funny parts that I enjoyed. I did not like the long singing parts, but that is sometimes needed for a good play. Overall, the play was good and worth seeing. I think the play was also much better because I went with family.
