My sister and I have been watching movies together lately. . .more specifically we were watching 'Meet the Robinson's', and for anyone who has seen the movie knows that it is about a young boy who wants to be an inventor. . .he travels through time into the future and he realizes that there are flying cars and moving sidewalks. My sister being only 10 is very much fascinated, and turns to me and says something like: "I wonder why God didn't make this real life." I'm sure I would have wondered the same thing as well at her age, but then again being older I now know that most people don't know how to drive on an actual road with all 4 tires planted on the ground, so flying around? NOT going to happen. EVER. And so that is the reason why.
But it got me thinking that I wish that life were a movie as well. Although I'd like to be in a love story. It would be nice for a change to have someone around who wanted to spend time with me. AND perhaps climb the outside of a ferris wheel to ask me out on a date like in 'The Notebook'. BUT the older I am getting the more I realize that life is and never will be like a movie. Kind of sad. . .but I guess it forces you to just live in reality, and to find your own definition of a movie life OR love in the real world.
I guess that I just hope my sister always stays fascinated in such things. . .I wish flying cars and moving sidewalks still intrigued me.
Such a beautiful tale, and you never know, maybe in her lifetime she will see a flying car, but I doubt she would be able to go to the future! So pure and so sweet!
