I have a distinct memory of watching Annie at the movie theater with my family when I was 7 or 8 years old. I absolutely loved everything about it - the song, dance, story, and of course, little Annie. I remember crying when Annie climbed the steps running away from her fake parents until Punjab appeared on a helicopter and brought her back to safety. Over 30 years later, I still love Annie and couldn't wait to introduce her to Lauren and Elizabeth. For my birthday back in October, my mother got us tickets to see Annie. I selected Sunday, March 3rd because that was the first day I was able to secure front-row seats from the mezzanine so the girls wouldn't have obstructed views by sitting behind a tall person. The girls enjoyed the show though admittedly, they love any time they spend with mom and dad. They loved Times Square and E even said she wanted to live in the city as we approached the Midtown Tunnel back to reality. Tae responded by saying, "Maybe we will one day."

This is how I remember Annie circa 1982.
