An Odd Life Indeed

Family friendly films are my favorite!  The film “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” came out in 2012 and tells the story of a couple who are unable to have children of their own.  The night after they receive the news they overcome with emotion.  They start writing down characteristics and talents their “would-be” child would possess and then bury them in a small chest in the front yard.  That night a terrible yet magical storm comes.  They discover the chest they had just buried has been dug up.  They discover instead a young boy named Timothy who calls them Mom and Dad.  They soon realize Timothy possesses all the characteristics and attributes they had recorded for their child.  An additional odd thing about Timothy is the leaves growing on his legs.  I will leave it up to you to watch the movie to learn what happens to the family and what the leaves mean.
