I am a whimp, I’ll admit it.

I cry at the drop of a hat, or at least at the end of sad movies!

My darlin can tell you that I mostly watch movies with a happy ending. I just can’t take the sad endings. I have been known to cry, of and on, for days after seeing a sad movie. Every time I think about the movie, I cry.

One time years ago, my darlin went to get us a movie, I said, “Be sure to get a comedy.” I thought it was a pretty safe bet. He got to the video store, and looked, and looked. He came home with a movie he said was a comedy. In the first five minutes of the movie, the lady in the movie’s husband dies and the rest of the show she is trying to figure out what to do with herself. I cried and cried. I said, “This is not a comedy!” All he could say was, “I looked at so many movies, I must have picked the wrong one!”

I’d say!

So I have come up with a great idea. I think the movie industry should put a code on the movie. Let’s call it the “Sweetness and Light” code. They could put a cute little picture of a “sun” on the back cover next to the rating. Then all of the poor husbands who are trying to pick a happy or funny movie will never make a mistake.  And all of the pansy people who can’t take any sadness will be able to watch the movies that are full of “Sweetness and Light.”

“Zip-a-dee-do-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!!”
