Who's Hellen Mirren?
Lying in bed two nights ago after the dvd, "The Queen" (the title page still open in front of us.)
Pink: Do you think we could go back and give Juniorette a secret third middle name (reference this.)?
H: Like what - FIREFLY? That's just dumb.
P: It's NOT dumb - you're just too conservative. Ok, what would you choose - say you could give her any name in the world?
H: Nothing. Giving a name for the hell of it is stupid.
P: Ok, but if you COULD give her another name, what would it be? A secret mysterious name that she discovers for herself when she is older.
H: Pauses. Scratches his balls head. Pauses again. Wrinkes his brow in concentration....Helen.
Pink: Looks to heaven in shocked resignation. HELEN?! Like Helen Mirren?!
H: Who's Helen Mirren?

I feel bad (a bit) that we spend so much time laughing at/with your husband, but he does make it so easy, doesn't he!?

Thank god he doesn't know her. She's one sexy mama. Have you seen her earlier films AND she had Liam Neison as her toy boy in his very hot younger years. OMG I'm showing my age. But seriously be happy he hasn't noticed her!

Hola Pink! Howzit goin?
Speaking of husbands and Helen Mirren, mine knows Helen M alright, he says he'd 'like to give her one!'
I honestly don't know what the appropriate reaction to that one is....

LOL! Must say I have had two Helens in my career and both were LOVELY girls. Truly wonderful students.
