aw…laurel and hardy, and my daughter and her dad. read and watch the video.
My kids were weird, it’s true. On parents’ night in kindergarten, you know how the teacher would post the kids’ things all over the walls, and you’d walk around looking for your kid’s stuff? One year, the kids filled out a list of their favorite things, one of which was food. I walked around, reading “my favorite food is pizza…” “…hamburgers…” “…macaroni and cheese…” “…artichokes..” The last one, that was always my kid.
They loved jug band music. My son cracked us up singing If You’re a Viper, by Jim Kweskin and the jug band. They loved Laurel and Hardy. LOVED ‘em.
So the totally impromptu dance that Marnie did with her dad at her wedding included a bit from Way Out West, one of their favorite Laurel and Hardy films. I’ll bet Marnie hasn’t seen that in years – maybe even since she was a kid.
they just spontaneously did this
the originals. and they really were.
And here’s the very short video – it’ll make you laugh. At least, it makes ME laugh. And get all misty-eyed, remembering my nutty little kids, parked in front of the TV falling over laughing at it.
The video is 2:01 in length, and they ‘commence to dancin’ at 33 seconds. I start my day with happiness in my heart.

such a sweet, sweet photo. Thanks for sharing your photos and memories.

Thanks for such a sweet comment! The photo of Marnie and her dad dancing really is sweet, isn’t it. Makes me happy every time I see it – her childhood, brought into her marriage celebration.
I love it! And I well recognize that uniqueness; my younger daughter once, when asked by a teacher what religion she was (and where that question came from, I don’t know), answered “10% Buddhist, and 90% fairy”. I love that kid.

I love that kid too!! 90% fairy, 10% Buddhist, if only the human race were really composed of that mix. What a fabulous daughter,
weirdunique in just the best way.Hey now…kids aren’t born weird, they’re MADE weird. I have a red eyed picture of a certain someone grinning away while playing an accordion. Dad called iodine monkeys blood. We just fell close to the weird tree, that’s all. Embrace your weirdness!
Fell close to the weird tree!! I LOVE THAT! I love y’all’s ‘weirdness,’ ever so much better than plain. I embrace all of our weirdness.
…. they’ve obviously got great taste…… I LOVE Laurel and Hardy
Yes they do! L&H are just the best, aren’t they?
