We have a child of rare and refined tastes here. Not only does she like dancing to Ray Charles music before going to bed, but she also seems to be a Donald O'Connor fan.

She's been very tired and irritable all day (I wonder if she's getting her next set of teeth), fussing and crying and refusing to nap. I had her in the den with me, not that it was doing any good. So I was watching "Singing In The Rain" on TV when all of a sudden she got quiet. She was just enthralled by Donald O'Connor's "Make 'Em Laugh" routine! She watched intently, giggling at the pratfalls and funny faces.

When it was over she went back to fussing and crying again, so I rewound the movie (thank heaven for TiVo!) and played that scene again, and once again she smiled and giggled all the way through.

So I guess Samantha is a "Singing In The Rain" fan, too.
