Oh no you didn't! (Or, how you know I've seen this movie too many times)

No, no, no, NPR.

There's a show on where they're talking about movies that make men cry and I think it was the host of the show just said her husband always gets choked up at the part in The Sound of Music when Captain Von Trapp is singing Edelweiss and he gets choked up because he thinks he's going to have to go join the Navy for the Third Reich and leave his family.

Come on! You've watched the movie enough times to know what makes your husband cry "every time" but you don't even know what's going on! He's not crying about leaving his family, he already knows he's escaping with them shortly, not joining the Nazi navy. He's crying about leaving his country that he loves so much.

Edelweiss is a love song about Austria. He's sad because he has to leave Austria with his family in order to keep them safe.

I'm disappointed, NPR. As I'm sure Clementine will be as well when she reads this.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
