You have a way of making an ordinary weekend
Watching movies with family seem like a horror story. We've all got family members that we'd rather not be related to.
And I think it's a good thing that you don't have the same interests in movies as a 9 year old.

Thank you, Mason ... I hate the ones where they use the scary voice
to get your attention ("Are you living in a hidden deathtrap? Find out the important precautions
every homeowner
must take!
It just might save you life!") and then tell you to "Tune in tonight at 11."

How about Children's horror stories?
You know, stuff like, "The Brave Littlte Toaster who Hopped into the Bathroom and electrcuted your mother in the tub," or "The Little Engine Who Could Crawl Through Your Window At Night and Suck out Your Brains?"
Just a thought...

Mademoiselle, the 9 year old told you you didn't know "jack" about movies?
That is rich. Who is she MacCaulay Culkin's child? Dakota Fanning's younger sibling?

your post reminds me of those news broadcasts where they keep

I would say that for someone who doesn't know jack about movies,
you certainly seem to have the makings to write one, just based on the trailers we have read here.

No, Samhain, I'll get around to all of them ...
eventually.
(I'm hoping to resume a regular blogging schedule on Wednesday.)
P.S. And yes, I do. Which is why my family and friends adore me so.

Mademoiselle, you enjoy torturing others don't you? I want ALL of the stories and I want them NOW but, "Noooooo", you're going to drag this out and make us plead and beg and wait - aren't you?

Very observant, Aaron. One of my alltime favorite episodes.
Skinner: I'm sorry, did...did you just call me a liar?
Superintendent Chalmers: No, I said you were fired.
Skinner: Oh ... that's much worse.

Sounds like a smashing time
as in, you want to start smashing things. Were you inspired by this quote?
Superintendant Chalmers: I've just about had it with you, Skinner. Low test scores, class after class of ugly, ugly children.

Wow! I'm so sorry, and yet...
so amused :) Isn't it funny how other's tragedies can make for the best stories! Hope things get better soon and I'm looking forward to those stories. (And having been a preschool teacher and still teaching piano to children, I totally understand the ugly children, the uppity 9-year-olds and the contagion that comes from dealing with kids!) And yet I love them. Amazing, isn't it?
