Before High School Musical

My mom left this morning (Will Ferrell as Robert Goulet saying "Single tear") so now I'm procrastinating doing all the things I didn't do while she was here, so hello procrastination tool of choice.

Being with my mom for the past 11ish days has made me think of my childhood; it was a pretty good one, I have no complaints out of the ordinary besides her agreeing to let me be a wise man in the nativity scene when I was eight.

Shortly after this in-every-way-disturbing picture was taken, we

moved from Florida to California. In preparation for the packing, moving, unpacking, my mom did what any normal mother in 1988 with a VCR and cable would do: she taped hours and hours of the Disney channel for her kids to watch while she packed, moved and unpacked so that maybe, just maybe, they would stay out of her hair long enough for her to get something done.

I doubt her ploy was 100% effective but I am 100% grateful for those video tapes that still grace her bonus room cupboards. I hope to have a similar collection someday made up of these films of yesteryear, as none of them make me violently ill unlike the made-for-tv Disney movies of today.

High fives to anyone who is able to name all of these movies by name.
