"My Girl'

Friday January 3, 1992

I spend the morning paying bills. We reward me by going to the movies. We see "My Girl", a movie about a little girl whose mother died from childbirth and she is raised by an uninvolved father who runs a funeral home out of their home. They live upstairs. The 11-year-old girl has no girlfriends. Her best friend is a 10-year-old neighbor boy. She goes into a tailspin when he dies from massive bee stings because he's allergic. It's sad and we both cry.

We're home by 6 p.m. We have a quiet evening doing some paperwork.

I remember that very sad movie very well. Macaulay Culkin of "Home Alone" fame plays the 10-year-old boy. It was so sad when the swarm of bees attacked him.
