sleepless part two

Oh, now I remember. I was gonna brag about Katarina inheriting her dad's ear.
The other night we let Katarina watch Sleepless in Seattle with us (didn't know that was a sign I was about to have a sleepless night). We had remembered Sleepless being a clean movie - which it mostly is, except some of the dialogue in which I had sudden coughing fits, sneezing fits, and wishes for Katarina to go refill our drinks.

Anyway, Katarina is fond of telling people who mention celebrity names, with a big sigh, "I don't know who that is. WE don't have cable."

So we're watching and suddenly Katarina frowns. "This guy sounds just like Woody in Toy Story."
We have a laugh. A few minutes later she frowns again. "That gal sounds like one of the gorillas in Tarzan."

Mike is proud, especially, as just the other day the two of us discovered our new fave show, Doc Martin. We've only watched the first season, or series, as the Brits say. But halfway through an episode Mike declares that the Doc must be the voice of Kipper. "Whatever," I reply. "He's british! Of course he sounds like Kipper."
The bet was on. Mike won. His daughter has inherited his gift.
