Blog EntryPicture Perfect - GobsmackedMar 21, '08 1:34 AM
for everyone
This week at Picture Perfect the theme is Gobsmacked.  That's a very strange word and I had to look for it at the Dictionary.

Webster's New Millennium™ Dictionary of English - Cite This Source - Share This
Main Entry:      gobsmacked
Part of Speech:      adj
Definition:      flabbergasted, astounded, shocked; also written gob-smacked
Etymology:      from gob 'mouth' + smacked 'clapping hand over in surprise'

Well, after thinking all afternoon what to post I think this is the perfect one.


 
This is my youngest sister Naida.  This was on her 25th birthday.  She was opening her gifts when she came with a very special gift.  My other sister, Letty, got her the DVD of Annie.  What's so special about that movie?  Well, let me tell you a little story... 

When we were small (or younger, 'cause I'm still small  ) one of my uncles gave Naida a video tape with several movies recorded and one of those movies was Annie.  EVERY single day Naida asked to see the video.  She was like 4-5 years old and she knew every song in the movie.  Gosh!  Was a torture!!!  One day Letty and me hide the movie and Naida cried so much and when mom asked what happened Naida told her that we hide the movie and to make the story short Letty and me got a scold from mom and we had to put the movie so Naida was happy. 


So here is Naida happy again with her favorite movie!


The photos were taken by me using my Kodak C-310 on 2006.

Oh, what a surprise! My daughter, way back when Annie first came out, also sang and danced every single song in that movie! Daily!!!! I guess that may be why she's such a good singer now? Great, great picture of her surprise.
Thanks for visiting my little tea party. http://zorra5.multiply.com/journal/item/97/Picture_Perfect_-_Gobsmacked
