My husband Nubs and I finally get to watch Across the Universe. Yes, I know we're almost a year late. But hey, this isn't about the movie.
Little Indie wakes up past 12 midnight as Across the Universe runs about halfway on our dvd player. She does not go back to sleep until closing credits.
The next morning, she's humming a familiar tune then... "Come together / right now / over me." A smile spreads across my face. I think she likes the movie just as much as we do. In the afternoon after her daily nap, father, mother and daughter — upon the daughter's request — sit in front of the TV for another viewing of the family's newest favorite film.
These days, Indie spends a great part of her waking hours listening to the movie soundtrack, 1 (a compilation of the Beatles' number 1 hits) and Bugs & Friends Sing the Beatles. There are four songs she tends to play again and again — Helter Skelter, It Won't Be Long, With A Little Help From My Friends, Come Together. I guess it's safe to assume that these are the ones she likes best. Soon she masters a few lines, especially choruses. And it occurs to me, it's not the movie she's really crazy about. It's the songs.
It's the Beatles.
Three-year old Indie may very well be the youngest Beatles fan. But then again, maybe not.

By the way, Indie's mommy is into Beatles music while her daddy is a hard core Beatles-John Lennon fanatic. And they both dig Across the Universe.
