I wear flip-up sun lenses and in the stores, for some reason, the small kids stare at me in fascination.
Occasionally I'll catch the parent's eye and I'll say "No. 5 is alive". It goes right over them. :-)
I love the mental picture you paint. LOL
Now I am going to have to find a DVD or video of this movie.
Number 5 will live again in my mind. Thanks for the reminder. Those clueless parents have no idea of what they missed in this gem of a movie.
