They laugh together, they play together, they hide behind curtains at dinner parties together. On the surface, Laurie does seem like a good choice for Jo. I too, it turns out now, would have chosen Bhaer over Laurie. But this time - and here’s where it gets crazy, folks - I understood Jo’s choice. And I remembered, too, my teenage heartbreak over Jo March’s choice to marry boring, ancient Professor Bhaer over dearest Laurie. In fact, even though I hadn’t seen it in probably fifteen years or so, I remembered every scene. I used to watch this movie a lot as a kid. I was lying in bed feeling under the weather so I turned on a movie I haven’t seen in years: the 1994 adaptation of Little Women. I never thought this would happen to me but … well … here I am. Something happened to me recently and I’m not sure what to make of it.
