Yesterday my family and I went to Pirate Day at the library, where we made a fun pirate hat and belt. Afterward, we got cozy and ready to watch Pirates! Band of Misfits! We had all three been excited about this day for weeks, especially since we had not yet seen the film and we are all three big Wallace and Gromit fans. I am sad to report, however, that I didn’t laugh once—and I had to stubbornly fight sleep the whole time.
To be fair, I had not slept the night before; my husband was in pain from a kidney stone and I was up with him. But if it had been a diverting movie, I am sure I would have been at the very least moved to remain awake. Instead, I fluctuated between irritation and boredom.
