'There’s no going back to what life was before — and that’s okay.' / 'When we sat down with Netflix family movie night, I wasn't expecting this.'
for family movie night with our two kids, who are 5 and 7, I didn’t expect much. Its premise was a little strange, taking the traditional Irish dance show you may remember from the ’90s and turning it into an animated kids’ movie complete with mythical creatures. It looked decent enough to keep my kids zombie-eyed for 90-minutes, but nothing to write home about.
Following the typical progression of a kid's movie, the river meet-up leads to them dancing on a log bridge over a river. But then, gasp, Keegan falls into the rapids below. While he furiously swims, Moya hops into the river and surfs the choppy waves, trailing behind him. After somehow surviving the swim that led him over multiple waterfalls, Keegan finds himself in a magical pool of water, complete with rainbows and friendly frogs.
I needed to get back, so I tried recreating elements of my past self: the tiny body, the sharp brain, the ability to walk out the door for dinner at 7 pm without worrying about a bedtime schedule. In my ferocious efforts to return to the past, I was missing the magic. Beauty now looks different than beauty then. My days are spent tucking notes into lunch boxes, holding dimpled hands, guiding arms into the sleeves of yellow duck raincoats, braiding hair, playing princesses and superheroes. We are in the stage of life where Bandaids can fix almost anything.
