Birthday Party

That birthday scene in SIGNS.  I never really pondered the fact that some kid must have seen something moving through the bushes in the yard for all of them to have abandoned the cake and food like that.  

I'll truly never forget the moment I saw this scene in the theater.  Every single man, woman, and teen in there screamed.

As a horrible side note:  I used to sit near a funny Puerto Rican woman and one time I called her over to show her this scene on youtube.  I always wanted to know what those kids were yelling.  Well, I ask "What are they saying, Maria? You can understand, right?! TELL ME!"  She yelled, "It's Portuguese, you DUMBASS!"  Also important to note, I once told her I had a pet Chupacabra.  She wasn't amused and felt I cracked the joke to her due to her race (I think I did), which led to the office nickname from her of "Chupa"...for over a decade.  I deserved it.

She said it every time as though she was calling me dumbass.

I reached out to her recently to see how she was doing and it was "Hey, Chuuuuuupa!"
