I've never been a a huge Smurf fan in the past. Yes, I watched the cartoons, but it bugged me how they slaughtered English grammar with the word Smurf...which is obviously a noun, but then they'd use it as a verb, adverb, and adjective whenever they smurfed like it! But, when the movie came out this summer, I was overcome with nostalgia and I really wanted to see it. The only reason I didn't is because my niece and nephew didn't want to because they really didn't know what a Smurf was. And I didn't want to be an adult going to a kid movie with out a kid. When I found out McD's was bringing back the smurf figurines out with their happy meals...I was so excited. It just brought me back to my childhood years...and I just had to get my hands on one. And so I urged my nephew to have a happy meal one night...and he gladly handed me over the smurf. I took it to work to put on my shelf...and before I knew it...people were bringing me their kids' smurfs! And now, I have quite a collection. Yesterday, my buddy made my collection complete by swiping Smurfette from her 2 year old! She's the one I really wanted and so getting her simply made my day! Do I feel ashamed for taking a 2 year olds toy? Slightly, but not really!
So, if your kid happens to have a Papa Smurf or a Brainy Smurf laying around the house, my birthday is coming up...and I can't think of anything I want more...well, actually I can...but hey, I'm pretty easy to please!
