      I may have to rent this this summer from our local Family video. Such a good movie and book. Thanks.

I had so many thoughts about your blog post, the book, and the movie after I read your post on Wednesday. Now I'm not sure I remember any of them. :my_confused:

I have read the book multiple times and like it a lot. I've only seen the movie once or twice, but I think I remember being a little underwhelmed. For example, when C. Thomas Howell says the line, "You ain't a'woofin' " it's pretty obvious he had no idea what it meant. Now that I know about the longer version on DVD, I may have to check that out!

I also remember being surprised (when I reread the book as an adult) that I had missed an important point when I read it as a teenager. I totally missed the point about Sodapop's girlfriend having to go stay with her grandparents. I wasn't some sheltered innocent, but I completely missed that they were saying that she was pregnant. Oops! 

I guess I remembered a few of my thoughts after all! Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. :my_smile:

      People on Reddit think Joy wasn't there, which is understandable since she went through something similar. Going to something like that would probably just bring all that pain back up.

      RE: number of c-sections - I've heard of women in Europe being told 2 only; my friend's parents argued that Americans do more and their doctor okayed four. Women in US 4 only. But have met women who have had 5 sections. Two women I know were told at their last c-section (3rd and 5th) that their uterus was at the point of rupture and advised them to not have any more pregnancies. My point is it's very individual and a doctors should consider individual circumstances.

      One sister could be a crime of opportunity, but 4 sisters and a babysitter presumably multiple times each is a preference. 

      And considering the age of the youngest sister at the time? Yeah, that's not a crime of opportunity.

      She talked about how the little children were taking bread from the pantry and putting it in there.

      That could be concerning.

      Look I know kids do weird things as part of games, and maybe I've been reading JRod too much but my first thought was that they are hungry and hiding food for later.

      This I just don't get. Surely at least part of the point of it is storage? At the very least wouldn't you clean just to make sure you hadn't brought spiders or other insects in with you?? Betting at least part of the price difference was cleaning, restoring, polishing and insect-free guarantee!

      She talked about how the little children were taking bread from the pantry and putting it in there. So maybe it was clean when it came home but then the food got in it? 

      Unclear. I guess I don't get why if you recorded that you wouldn't pause, wipe it out, and rerecord? I would be embarrassed by that.
