It's so wonderful to see all these nice comments about "The Infant Kiss"
video! Thank you! I'm impressed by it and love watching it, and I've
seen it hundreds of times. Thanks Laura, for mentioning the lip syncs,
because I too think Chris did a wonderful job in getting it to look as
if some of the voices are coming from the characters on the screen, such
as the "what is this" from the little boy, and the whispering, and 
especially the screaming at the end.

Yep, and it was so much fun! Chris did all the hard work and I was the
one who got to play and have a good time :-). Anyway, I suggested and
added the picture of the groundskeeper at the "Knock, knock, who's there"
part, and the boy at the fireplace warming his hands (can't remember
exactly where that is) and the close up of the boy (wearing a crown) 
turning to look at her, at the "there's a man behind those eyes" part.
(I just had to tell y'all, because I'm pretty proud of those bits :-)).
