twitterpated

Flower: [about two birds fluttering around] Well! What's the matter with them?

Thumper: Why are they acting that way?

Friend Owl: Why, don't you know? They're twitterpated.

Flower, Bambi, Thumper: Twitterpated?

Friend Owl: Yes. Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example: You're walking along, minding your own business. You're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!

Thumper: Gosh, that's awful.

Flower: Gee whiz.

Bambi: Terrible!

Friend Owl: And that ain't all. It could happen to anyone, so you'd better be careful. [points at Bambi]

Friend Owl: It could happen to you… [points at Thumper]

Friend Owl: … or you, or even... [Flower looks at Owl shyly]

Friend Owl: Yes, it could even happen to you!

Thumper: Well, it's not gonna happen to me.

Bambi: Me neither.

Flower: Me neither.

this is perhaps what my mom was saying 3 months ago . . . until she met Jeff Schmutz . . . now she is the epitome of twitterpated. the two are engaged as of february 1st. pretty crazy . . . the wedding will most likely be in May but no date has been set.

for those of you that are wondering: yes, it has been weird and something to get used to for us kids, but i will say that i am in awe at how things have come together and am so happy to see my happy mom! {especially when she is dancing around singing, "i'm in love, i'm in love and i don't care who knows it!" - from the movie Elf :) }

congrats mom! enjoy the twitterpation!
