Can you keep a secret?
When I was a little girl, about 6 or 7, I would help my mom out in her bakery, she made wedding cakes. She would put fondant on them and write the couple's name on them in iceing, I used to daydream about her writing mine and Robert's name on one. She actually had a real couple that were named Robert and Mary, which is close enough because I'm Mary Elizabeth.
I was little, I can dream, can't I?

Of course all 300 of us who are reading this chatboard can keep a secret! ;-) Just kidding. I'm sure it's nowhere near that many ... but I'm afraid the cat's out of the bag now. Anyone can read this board.

Anyhow, that's sweet. You certainly are a dedicated fan! (Since you were 6?? Wow, that's much earlier than me. How come my six-year-old nieces haven't fallen in love with him yet??? I keep working on them! They did say they liked him after watching TI And went around the house saying "Arrr" the rest of the day! But neither of them asked to have his name put on a cake next to theirs. Although I don't think they really could understand a word he said--I had to give them the synopsis as it went along. (And shield their eyes during that once-edited Israel Hands death scene.) Maybe if there'd been a Disney princess in the movie, on the other hand, it'd be a different story; that's all they care about. It also doesn't seem to have occurred to them yet that the people they see in the movies are *actors* rather than actually the characters they play. I've gotta work on that next. Although ... I can just imagine it now. "You mean, there really *is* no Long John Silver??" *sob*)
