A Ros and Take That Moment

[przed]

The other day I'm making dinner with Take That's Progress tour on in the background when Ros and the Sweetie come home from the park. I flip the concert back to Shine so Ros can watch it while I'm finishing dinner. (They do this version as an Alice in Wonderland pastiche, complete with the White Rabbit, and Ros loves it.)

Here's Howard, Mark, Jason and the rabbit.


A couple of minutes later, a very excited Ros comes running into the kitchen.

Ros: Mommy, mommy, I know why he sings "But you're stuck in a hole!"
Me: Why?
Ros: It's because the song is about a rabbit!

I don't know what I love more, the fact that the line was clearly bugging her, or the fact that she's latched onto the explanation that it's about a rabbit. And she's sticking to her guns on the point. Any time she hears it now, she insists "This is about a rabbit!"

Of course, she's partly right, since the song is about Robbie, and they no doubt did the whole Alice in Wonderland thing because Robbie did a video a few years ago dressed as the White Rabbit:


And Robbie appears at the end of Shine via video screen as the Rabbit.


Since I had to grab my own screen caps of Shine, have a few more, just for fun.

Mark in what is possibly the most ridiculous costume of his career. (Or perhaps not. There's certainly no shortage of ridiculous costumes in Take That's history.)


Gleeful!Mark posing for the crowd.


Howard and Jason showing off their moves, as always. Not bad for a pair of fortysomethings.



In other news, I have finished the final assignment in the bloody online course I've been taking. It's not the most brilliant job I've ever done, but as long as I pull off a reasonably respectable grade, I'll be happy. Now I've just got to survive the launch of a massive new project I've been part of at work, and then I can get my head back around the Pros Big Bang and any other fannish project that strikes my fancy. Yay!

Awwwwwwwwwww and so are fangirls made... *g*

Congrats on finishing the final assignment.

She'll certainly have plenty of support if she becomes a full blown fangirl. Of anything. Well, except maybe One Direction. *g*

I'm more relieved than anything that I've got that assignment done. It's certainly no masterpiece, but I reckon I'm a good enough writer that even a dodgy job is enough to get me a reasonable grade. (I clearly have no shame left.) And it's cured me of taking any big professional development courses for another year or two.

She so far seems to know nothing about 1D, and I really hope it stays that way. Mind you, I've heard older kids at the school talking about them (amusingly, the girls squeal over them; the boys diss them) so who knows how much longer that'll last.

What you said. Especially about not being able to get TT albums at the local HMV. What is up with that?!

You do know you've now cursed yourself right?

I'm already looking forward to the end of this degree and it's still a year away so I get it. :D

Oh, please no. I'm just hoping that by the time Ros is of an age to pay attention to that sort of thing, One Direction will be long gone. Mind you, I bet there were mums in the '90s who thought the same thing about Take That and look how that's worked out. :-/

Whenever I started whining about this course (which was frequently) I would think about your degree and how very much worse I could have it. You have my sympathies and my good thoughts that you make it through the thing with you sense of humour intact.
