that's what wrong with you. you should be kissed and often,
and by someone who knows how"
- margaret mitchell, gone with the wind
oh how i love this quote and this movie.
when c and i were newlyweds, i had him sit and watch the entire
movie, so he'd understand why i loved it so much.
i have a thing for epic movies.
when it was over, he told me i was a bit like scarlett
{my mom said that to me years ago when i was a teenager}.
i wasn't sure my mom meant it as a compliment at the time, but i knew
c meant it that way. i think he liked my feisty attitude and my independence.
one day after a fight or something, he left a postcard with this photo on the seat
of my car. on the back he wrote "you should be kissed and often, and by someone
who knows how".
when i confronted him, i held it up and responded using the same word's scarlett used to rhett
when he told her that. if you know the movie, you know her response. she says "and i suppose
you're the proper person"? christopher smiled and said yes.
he was then, and he still is.
