Hey! My six-year-old noticed something in the movie that I had not noticed! I thought when the Black Rider is asking Farmer Maggot about "Shire, Baggins" that there was only one Black Rider. Matthew kept insisting that there was at least two. So we were just watching it and he says "See! There are two shadows that go by on Farmer Maggot's house!" So I ran it back and sure enough! There are at least two shadows that go by after the Black Rider takes off...maybe even three!
I'll say! I patted my little expert on the back and said "Sharp eyes, son!"
Yes, there are several Riders there. I thought we'd discussed this before?
Hope the tadpole thing went ok. Tadpole burial? My one sister has hamsters; she's been keeping them for about five years and has been through, oh, a dozen of the creatures. One got cancer, two got eaten, others just died... she's broken up every time but gets new ones anyway. I doubt tadpoles are quite as traumatic an experience - but I could be wrong, what do I know?
