Three dee!

Sam recently took Jorie to her very first movie in a theater, and it was the 3D rerelease of Toy Story. This turned out to be somewhat awkward as there were no 3D glasses small enough to fit well on Jorie. It sounds as if there were very few personnel actually on duty in the theater at the time, so it's unclear to us whether this was a local oversight or if no kid-size glasses of this particular type actually exist. But I actually suspect the latter, based on some brief web searching based on what I figured out later on. Anyway, Jorie seems to have watched much of the movie with the glasses off and just accepted the blur as the way of the world. But she liked the movie anyway and told me all about Buzz Lightyear that evening.

Instead of dumping the glasses in the recycling bin, Sam brought them home, probably figuring Jorie would find them an interesting novelty. Of course I set about reverse-engineering them as soon as I got my hands on them.
