So. You see, when we bought the Shark Tales movie on DVD, I told the kids “I know someone who works for Dreamworks, and worked on SharkTales.” and they, because they are my kids and realize I rarely ever leave the house unless it’s to shuttle them around, poopoohed the idea and assumed mom was nuts. They even uttered the words “Prove it!”<\/p>\n

So, we watched the credits afterwards, and watched and then I squeeled and pointed “SEE! THERE’S HER NAME!” and they went. “HA!” And while they pretended that they believed me, I knew they didn’t really. I further explained that this was TBF’s roommate in college, and we had met on my first visit to California, and bonded over many sips of some bottle called Redrum. [Ooooooooh it was yummy, and I have never located another bottle. dammit. It was red! and rum! and spells murder backwards! and I MUST HAVE IT! ahem.] So naturally, the kids concluded that momma was drunk, and thus it’s all a dream.<\/p>\n

Ha. Ha HA I say.<\/p>\n

I, of course, related this little story to this person who does indeed work at Dreamworks, and she, of course, was verily amused by the whole thing, and asked for my snailmail address.<\/p>\n

So today, I find a box in my mail, and inside the box, I found THIS.<\/p>\n

\"dreamworks.jpg\"<\/center><\/p>\n

A Shrek 2 mousepad, Shark Tales post it notes, and 2! Madagasgar hardback notebooks, with little elastic band to hold it closed and bookmarks. <\/p>\n

The children? Suitably impressed, and claimed everything. Even the postit notes. I love post it notes. I SURVIVE by post it notes to myself. Blasted kids! She’s MY friend! HARUMPH! <\/p>\n

I am consoled, however, by one single fact. They have also conceded the point that I? know some pretty damn cool people. Famous people. That work in the MOVIES.<\/p>\n

I win.<\/p>\n
