Jacob Beauregard

One of James’ favorite movies is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  Gene Wilder, not Johnny Depp.  Apparently, Willy Wonka looks like his dad.  In general, I’ve been Roald Dahl’s biggest fan since Mr. Shepherd’s lunchtime readings in 4th grade.  Unfortunately, the creepy singing tunnel scene makes this movie unwatchable for me.

In one scene, Mr. Beauregarde yells, “Violet, you’re turning violet!”  And then she becomes a blueberry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNm1kfxlNJQ&feature=related).

Have I mentioned how many blueberries Jakey eats?  It’s his favorite food.  It’s the perfect food.  He’s probably eaten a case of blueberries just in the past 3 months.  So, it didn’t surprise me when we took his little shirt off after school the other day, and his chest was blue.  It was only a matter of time.
