waking up in toronto

Dorothy
'There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home.'
Waking up in Kansas
Dorothy returns to the Farm!
Dorothy
'There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place....'
Aunt Em
Wake up, honey.
Dorothy
There's no place like home. There's no place like home. No place.....
Dorothy
Oh, Auntie Em, it's you!
Aunt Em
There, there, lie quiet now. You just had a bad dream.
Hunk
Sure.
Dorothy
But it wasn't a dream. This was a real, truly live place.
And I remember that some of it wasn't very nice - but most of it was beautiful.
But just the same, all I kept saying to everybody was, 'I want to go home!'
And they sent me home.
(All Laugh)
Doesn't anybody believe me?
Uncle Henry
Of course we believe you, Dorothy.
Dorothy
Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home! Home! And this is my room - and you're all here!
And I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all! And -
Oh, Auntie Em, there's no place like home!

I hope it was a happy reunion.

It certainly was! We did the mother daughter thing, went shopping and for a drink in the Kensington Market. Nothing like that in Europe, she was very glad to be back.

too funny. I feel the same way about coming home from Kansas... it was all a scary dream, but we are finally home.

yeah! Toronto may not be perfect, but it sure beats the fucked up right wing, Fundamental Christian, segregated mid west of the US of eh.
