Pops and Susan took the boys to see a production of Mary Poppins at the playhouse. The boys were not familiar with the story and were whining before about going to what sounded to them like a long, boring event at which they would have to not talk and sit still for hours. Before they left, David whined "I don't want to see Harry Poppins!" I think he had a mashup of Harry Potter and Mary Poppins in his head.
But off they went, and sure enough they came home three hours later loving the play and singing the Supercalifrangilisticexpialidocious song and talking about how much fun they had. I think it helped that they got to take their allowance and treat Pops and Susan to a lemonade and a snack at intermission. And on top of that, after they got to go to the Drake Diner, too. Kinda wish I was 5 and 7 again.
