Fast forward a decade and a half later and I'm once again singing "Oh I just can't wait to be king..." with my 3 year old little girl. It was her favorite movie and since I was preggers with her little bro and slap outta energy and parenting prowess, she probably watched it a solid 4 times a day. All the way through.
Mom of the year right here.
The VHS started waning and other DVD's took it's place so Lion King got shelved for a few years.
Then I heard it was coming back out into the theaters for only a few weeks. I bought 6 tickets faster than you could say Hakuna Matata.
This family date proved to be far better than my first ill-attempt 17 years ago with a boy I robbed from the cradle. This time I didn't have a silly Simba singing me love songs during the credits.
No. No.
I had a real man. Whom you say?
MUFASA.
{ooooooooh, do it again...}
And all the little hyenas we brought lived up to their name and cackled and screamed and whooped and hollered the whole time.
Who would have ever known that I would see the same movie in the theater 17 years apart under very, very different circumstances.
Although I did throw a punch both times to the boys who tried to lay a smooch on me during the flick...maybe times haven't changed so much...
