When that day comes I shall Futterwacken vigorously.

I just knew that Evelynn would love to see Alice in Wonderland! We have watched every preview available on YouTube and have watched and rewatched the Futterwacken scene many, many times. Over the course of the last two days, Evelynn has told me "When my daddy gets home, we're going to see Futterwacken." Yes, she has retitled the movie. Her eyes stay glued on the Mad Hatter while he is on screen and she loves Cheshire Cat.

Today was the big day for Evelynn and Caelan. I found a theater that was still playing "Alice in Wonderland," but they had to go to Lancaster to see it. Evelynn was quite animated about it when she got home. This is her summary:

"The Jabberwocky had little elbows, but he was big (demonstrates by throwing her hands out wide). He had really big wings that he flapped. He was a bad guy, and the Red Queen was with him. His tongue was like a tail. He licked with it. He went up the castle. The princess (Alice) waved the sword at Jabberwocky. His head broke. It came off. The princess broke his head. The Hatter did Futterwacken. And Daddy told me to be quiet."

No mention of the Cheshire Cat. Apparently the Jabberwocky is the new thing.
